Hello, does anyone know if wap 9 lora kit is expected to cover about 1.5 km with internal antena? For, lets say an iot proyect?

Should be with full LoS? Because for example for GPS tracking it might be very poor LoS

Internal antenna 2,5dBi can be used for setups where the distance to the gateway are closer than 1km.
I recommend to use an external antenna, the “LoRa Antenna kit” - can be obtained separately. Antenna kit has
pole mount and cable ready to use with LoRa cards.

I have already ordered an "antenna kit" to Mexico, the provider said it has a delivery time of 13 weeks, so lets wait to see what happens :)
