Which band?
LoRa uses licence-free bands that differ by country. Set your radio to the region where you use it.
| Region | Where | Band (MHz) | Duty cycle | Max power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| US | United States, Canada, much of the Americas | 902–928 | None | 30 dBm |
| EU_868 | Europe and many countries following ETSI rules | 869.4–869.65 | 10% | 27 dBm |
| EU_433 | Europe, alternative band | 433.0–434.0 | 10% | 12 dBm |
| ANZ | Australia and New Zealand | 915–928 | None | 30 dBm |
| IN | India | 865–867 | None | 30 dBm |
| CN | China | 470–510 | None | 19 dBm |
/ HOW IT WORKS
01
Where the numbers come from
These match the region presets in Meshtastic firmware, which follow each area's rules for licence-free devices.
02
Duty cycle
Where a limit applies, it caps the share of each hour a radio may transmit. The airtime calculator shows what that means in messages.
03
Check locally
Rules change and some countries add their own conditions. Confirm with your national regulator before deploying fixed infrastructure.
