Ah, you should try operating in an area with no cosmic radiation at all. Probably best if you find somewhere without a planetary magnetic field, too. That should get you up to 6.5km at least
@Peter ruclips.net/video/ne12J9nVBbo/видео.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE 240km of range, and with high transmission speed. Wifi can also transmit over several kilometres in perfect conditions
LoRA is great! I have a node inside a concrete tank which send data 500m to the gateway. Wifi could never do this and it is so low power it goes forever.

Hi! I have been researching this technology for awhile now and I have some questions, if you don’t mind assisting. 1. I am from Liberia and there are no gateways in my country. 2. In terms of the range of LoRa, when there is no information on which frequency random to use, what frequency is the best guess? There is no frequency range on the Things network for Liberia
1. That is a bit of a tricky one, if you dont want to set up a gateway, you might have to have things communicating locally and offline. There are a few communication platforms that use LoRa like Meshtastic, we are setting up a Meshtastic network here in our city, just do your research because only some hardware setups are supported. 2. The lower frequencies should have the longest ranges, but you should ensure that the frequency you are using is legal to use in your country (for example here in australia we can only use 915MHz). You can explore making your own antenna to increase the range (a dipole antenna is really easy to make), and with a homemade antenna, I've seen people get up to 100 km range with LoRa. The biggest limiting factor is line of sight though. Even if you are only 300 meters away, you will struggle to receive a signal on the other side of a hill, so it's more important to get a line of sight.
@@Core-Electronics Thanks so much for the prompt response. I really appreciate. I will do some research on creating local gate ways… if you have some links to some materials on that, I’d be interested. The intent of my project is to measure energy consumption in my distribution network and transmit those information through LoRa networks, in real time.
Helium and "The Things Network" (often referred to as TTN) are both based on the same technology. The end point devices (like the one built) broadcasts the same regardless of which network you are on. Each network type then decides what to do with the data received. If the data is not for their network( the endpoint device not being registered), they have some mechanism to toss the data along the way.
Any frequency that you'd want it to. From 62.5kHz to 915MHz. Just make sure you are following the rules in your local region. Come check the datasheet for the Lora-E5 Module here - core-electronics.com.au/attachments/uploads/lora-e5-module-datasheet-v1.0.pdf

Yes you can definitely do something like that with this! Something else that might be worth investigating is a project called Meshtastic. It uses LoRa but instead of data flowing from a lora device into a LoRaWan gateway, you create a little mesh network of LoRa devices and recieve it on another one. Meshtastic or this can work either way though. Best of luck!
"Up to" parameters are completely useless because one cannot design anything based on "up to". What happened to "at least" a.k.a. "minimum"? Or maybe "typical"? ... and based on a published reference design?
Technically you could connect to a drone with some work but the limited data transfer speed would kill almost all projects, certainly wouldn't be able to control it in anything like real time.
In AUS we use 915 Mhz. Because of the 'fair use policy' in the TTN this is more suitable for sensor data like weather station or agricultural projects not real time like you need in operating a drone.
