Unfortunately some pictures and a webpage with out lot of data.

Nr. 1 Tweet from laurensslats

laurenSlats tweeted, or retweeted a map with a reference to LoRa Alliance and the heading “333,7km! With a helium balloon at 22,6km height (using SF7). Pretty impressive”.

Having the data above one can derive following state of affairs. Some guys hooked up a LoRa node to a helium balloo with some logging firmware put in on the node and let the balloon fly, gathering details about the accessible LoRa community distribution on it is method however displaying additionally the probabilities of the LoRa applied sciences -> SF7 from 22,6 km LOS is actually very spectacular.

Below you may see the results of the journey. At the tip 137 Gateways have been found a lot of the within the Netherlands.

Nr 2. Live tracing in Czech Republic

Similar strategy to the one above had additionally some guys in Czech Republic. the truth that the route of the balloon could be traced reside on-line let assume me that the node is provided additionally with a mobile module. On the web site under you may examine some earlier routes but in addition see the ballons route reside. Beside the Information about LoRa Networks, the Czech guys collected additionally some environmental informations in addition to Informations in regards to the place of mobile stations.
