Featuring a high sensitivity of -148dBm and an integrated +20 dBm power amplifier, it offers an industry-leading link budget ideal for IoT, remote sensing, and industrial applications. While requiring external antennas and careful wiring, it supports flexible integration with popular microcontrollers like the ESP32-S3. ## Description desertcart.com: Lubeby Smart HopeRF Original sx1276 Based RF Module LoRa1276 RFM95W | 915Mhz Long Range Transceiver RFM95W* 2 PCS : Industrial & Scientific Review: BYO antenna and pins/wires - These are very tiny boards that are a little difficult to work with directly, but they do work. I had to solder a bunch of small wires to the pin holes because standard breadboard-sized pin headers are too big. These boards don’t have onboard antennas, but it was easy enough to make small 6-inch dipoles with a couple of wires. The impedance was probably not a great match, but it's better than nothing. The boards absolutely must have an antenna attached while transmitting to avoid damage. Review: Finally got it to work with ESP32-S3 - After quite a bit of struggle I was able to get it to work with ESP32-S3. The not-breadboard friendly part is just the beginning. When using ESP32-S3 you need to put in delays to get this to work. I don't like it. It requires too many wires, 7 plus power and ground. Doesn't make sense to use the SPI interface for such a low data rate device. Update: 9/10/2026 I am using the Arduino IDE and the LoRa library. Need to set Tx power to less than 10, otherwise firmware freeze after transmitting. ## Features - HopeRF RFM95W 915Mhz - LoRaTM Ultra Long Range Wireless Transceiver (functionally comparable to SX1276) - The RFM95W transceivers feature the LoRaTM long range modem that provides ultra-long range spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity while minimizing current consumption. - Using Hope RF’s patented LoRaTM modulation technique RFM95W can achieve a sensitivity of over -148dBm using a low cost crystal and bill of materials. - The high sensitivity combined with the integrated +20 dBm power amplifier yields industry leading link budget making it optimal for any application requiring range or robustness. - LoRaTM also provides significant advantages in both blocking and selectivity over conventional modulation techniques, solving the traditional design compromise between range, interference immunity and energy consumption. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #417 in Computer Networking Transceivers | | Customer Reviews | 3.4 out of 5 stars 16 Reviews | ## Images ![HopeRF Original sx1276 Based RF Module LoRa1276 RFM95W - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51eczgO6vwL.jpg) ![HopeRF Original sx1276 Based RF Module LoRa1276 RFM95W - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51QOhmc3fmL.jpg) ![HopeRF Original sx1276 Based RF Module LoRa1276 RFM95W - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51mt2M5Qd1L.jpg) ![HopeRF Original sx1276 Based RF Module LoRa1276 RFM95W - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gQdqs1FOL.jpg) ![HopeRF Original sx1276 Based RF Module LoRa1276 RFM95W - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51U8PtkVhaL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this 5v tolerant?** A: No, it's 3.3V,it will burn with 5V ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BYO antenna and pins/wires *by J***M on October 16, 2023* These are very tiny boards that are a little difficult to work with directly, but they do work.

Discouraged to see so many people give up when improvising solved the problem in 60 seconds. Here is one of the many ways you can make it work. No complaints. ## Frequently Bought Together - Lubeby Smart HopeRF Original sx1276 Based RF Module, LoRa1276 RFM95W 915Mhz Lora Ultra Long Range Transceiver (RFM95W (915MHz) * 2 PCS) - 915MHz LoRa Antenna Indoor 3dBi Gain Omni SMA Male + IPEX Cable 2 Pcs - Adafruit (PID 3072 RFM95W LoRa Radio Transceiver Breakout - 868 or 915 MHz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/487748441-hoperf-original-sx1276-based-rf-module-lora1276-rfm95w](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/487748441-hoperf-original-sx1276-based-rf-module-lora1276-rfm95w) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-10-11*
