900Mhz will punch through some stuff and the spread spectrum chrip Lora uses will do non-LoS[1] under some conditions. The bigger issue is to get that capability Lora is a really low bit-rate(on the order of bits-per-second) and polled instead of ad-hoc.

- superkuh 7y agoYeah, I heard the same thing. So now I own a bunch of 900 MHz transceivers, telemetry dongles, and equipment. I don't think it deserves the good rep it gets. It may punch to the other side of the house or do okay through some pine trees point-to-point but at the slightest hill or gentle dip it's done. It's best to treat it like a microwave link. And for a microwave link it has a pretty significant fresnel zone.
