The range of LoRaWAN is really impressive

Hello,

The range record is significantly higher, but this short test still impressed me.

I hiked up Égés-tető mountain (833 m) in Hungary. It is located about 60 km north of Budapest.

There, I put the Wio-E5 Development Kit with the original SMA antenna into operation.

I was able to reach the gateway in Györ, 103 km away.
