Seeking Insights on Quality and Performance of SX1280IMLTRT LoRa Module with Ranging Capability

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on an electronic circuit board project and I am in need of a LoRa module with transceiver and ranging capabilities. I came across the SX1280IMLTRT module, and I would like to gather some information about its quality and performance before proceeding with my design.

Has anyone had experience using the SX1280IMLTRT module in their projects? I am particularly interested in its range, reliability, and overall performance. How does it compare to other LoRa modules in terms of signal strength, interference resistance, and power consumption?

Any insights, personal experiences, or recommendations regarding the SX1280IMLTRT module or alternative modules with similar capabilities would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

The SX1280 is a 2.4Ghz device whereas the other LoRa modules operate in completely different frequency bands, 433Mhz\868Mhz etc, so range performance etc will be clearly be very different, at standard legal powers.

Range\distance is highly variable depending on the actual environment. You might get 1000km line of sight ground to a satellite but only 1km and ground level in town with the exact same equipment.

What is the actual project ?

the project is the design of a low consumption "data logger" electronic card for the agricultural sector

is SX1280IMLTRT compatible with loraWAN ?

Standard TTN\LoRaWAN runs at 433Mhz,868Mhz and 915Mhz.

TTI have demonstrated SX1280 LoRaWAN type stuff for data collection on ships etc, since the 2.4Ghz band is pretty much a global frequency allocation.

The distance record for low frequency LoRa, using 868Mhz LoRaWAN is 832km;

The equivalent record for SX1280\2.4Ghz LoRa is I believe by myself;

With the ranging operating up to 85km.

so i can communicate with lora wan using SX1280IMLTRT

Not at the moment, I dont think TTI have formall released the code, but you would need to ask them.

Not a trivial project then and one that would need a good understanding and expereince of RF comms, the distances vesus the frequency versus the envirnonment vesus antennas versus legal stuff etc etc.

And achieving 'low consumption' is not so easy either.

But then I guess you know what you want with this "data logger" but the forum volunteers can only guess.
