@mishari @lupyuen I wouldn't know... You can probably look up attenuation numbers for various types of foliage and figure out an estimated reach. OR, do what I did; test it. Put up a gateway, and drop N sensors (of any type) in "nature" at height where you expect them to be later, and monitor for a few days, possibly move them around a lot and plot the RSSI and SNR at each of these locations.

Anyone knows how far a Base Station can cover ... In the tropical forests of Thailand? 🙏

@lupyuen Sure, but students should get the school to invest $150-250 (Dragino LG308 for instance) in a LoraWAN gateway. And hobbyist could then possibly rely on schools.

@lupyuen I work quite a lot with LoraWAN, to read room temperature data. It should be understood that if you need coverage, you install gateways yourself... Otherwise, your devices/users may be without coverage without notice.

We have just transmitted data from Stack BL604 to Cloud over LoRa ... For Free! (Assuming we have The Things Network coverage)

Why set LoRaWAN Version to "1.0.2 Rev B"? Because has been upgraded recently ... Setting the incorrect LoRaWAN Version will cause Message Integrity Code errors! (I tried)
