They have a datasheet [0] for an "Environmental Monitoring Sensor" which lists a line-of-sight range of 50 miles and 1–3 miles in urban settings. For comparison

They have a datasheet [0] for an "Environmental Monitoring Sensor" which lists a line-of-sight range of 50 miles and 1–3 miles in urban settings. For comparison, Digi's XBee PRO ZigBee wireless modules have a line-of-sight range of 2 miles [1]. I'm a little bit skeptical about the 50 mile range claim (seems too good to be true), but this is an interesting product nonetheless.

- rvloock 10y agoIs it possible that they just use a LoRa radio? The frequency seems to match and the claimed ranges make me think in that direction.

Post by Beep Networks cofounder. > Our team at Beep Networks is now working with LoRa radios here in San Francisco, and we’re getting signals through at over a mile of range. That’s in the city, through walls, with a tiny battery-powered sensor device — no towers or giant antennas involved. We know folks who are getting 10 miles in every direction when they put these radios on towers in rural areas, where there’s less interference.
