Geez, this conversation has really grown a bit. On the idea of LoRaWAN penetration in water you stated that:
the higher the frequency’s the shorter the range
Would there be a recordable difference between 428MHz and 915MHz? Unfortunately, I lack a comprehensive understanding about radio strength, so we we assumed it had the same power, would the distance be approximately half on 915?
@Custom-IoT The idea sounds good, however I think the first issue would be infrastructure. The LoRaWAN network is very new and in comparison to the other networks is not that widely available. I do understand that my asset theft idea faces similar issues, but unfortunately you would also face the problem that the majority of gateways are in populated or metropolitan areas, often were these dangerous activities are not undertaken.
By the way, I think this may be the discussion about LoRaWAN’s ability in water that you were talking about:
