So the frequencies matter a bit. I run on 433mhz but I bet lora is good enough even at the US 915. So yeah it can even go further. Meshtastic 254KM was done on US 915. https://meshtastic.org/docs/overview/range-tests/

Can you outline generally which frequencies are for which countries? I could not find those details.

Or which frequencies are better for which use cases? (urban housing vs bush hiking. )

Looking for Australian specific details too.

Very interesting tech.
