202 | | Gateworks did some basic range testing with the GW10124 2dBi Omni Antenna on the 915Mhz band. |
203 | | A successful link was acquired at 4500ft/1.4km over water. |

205 | | Using a directional antenna, it is very likely the range could be increased further. Additionally, there is different modes and tuning that can be done in software to increase the range, such as LRM (long range mode). |
| 202 | Gateworks did basic range testing with the GW16122 using a 2dBi Omni Antenna on the 915Mhz band. A successful link was acquired at 4500ft/1.4km over water. Note both the transmitter and receiver were only 1m off the ground so much better performance would be expected if the antennas were mounted higher to clear the Fresnel zones. Using a directional antennas, range can be increased further with links easily greater then >10Km. Additionally, there is different modes and tuning that can be done in software to increase the range, such as LRM (long range mode). |
