#2I wonder what the frequency of operation is -- 315, 433 or 869 MHz?
Re: LoRa Range Testing in San Francisco
#3I'd like to see how it does in rural areas. There's a gap in the market for GPS horse trackers because you can't count on any particular communications network, unless you use licensed amateur radio APRS.

915 MHz in the US.
EDIT: Actually I suppose since it isn't LoRaWAN, it could be 433 MHz.

#5What's the throughput like for LoRa?

Rural areas would generally be much better due to the lower number of objects in the way. Now, that will give you less options for bouncing signals, but supposedly, you can achieve ~13 miles with line of sight.

Extremely low. Useless for any kind of demanding applications like web browsing or media, but very serviceable for simple data packets or even a basic TTY terminal.

#8Directionality. If you have a single gateway with tons of power for tx, is it ultra sensitive for RX and what the requirements on the end devices from a power perspective?

Think a few bytes per second

#10There are limitation to do with the Duty Cycles in LoRa networks which we've found inhibits certain real time applications. It effectively limits the number of "messages" you can send during a specific time frame.
