FAQ
What is LoRa?
LoRa is a long-range, low-power wireless protocol used for IoT and remote sensors over 1–10 km depending on conditions.
Does LoRa need the internet?
No. LoRa is point-to-point or mesh. LoRaWAN requires a gateway but is optional.
What is the difference between SX1276 and SX1278?
The main difference is frequency band: SX1276 handles 868/915MHz; SX1278 handles 433MHz.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes—fast PH shipping with same-day processing.
