RF Options
FM Radio Study: http://www.nab.org/xert/scitech/pdfs/rd022309.pdf
Communication Type | Operational Range | Frequency Band | Estimated Data Rate | Pros | Cons |
---|
FM Radio |
| 88.0 MHz → 108.0 MHz |
| Proven Technology | Will have to account for nearby stations |
AM Radio |
| 540kHz → 1700kHz |
| Proven Technology | Will have to account for nearby stations |
LoRa | 3 miles (urban), 10+ miles (line of sight) | 915MHz (NA) |
