LoRa Distance Testing with RYLR998 in open field - Amazing results!

Published at : 18 Dec 2025

In this video, I will be exploring LoRa communication for the first time and I will be making two devices that I can test and measure the distance at which they will be able to communicate.

The LoRa modules that I will use are the RYLR998 from Reyax. These modules operate on the 868/915MHz LoRa range and have a theoretical operation range of a few kilometers.

Depending on the conditions, this can sometimes be much more as you can see in the video.
