So the frequencies matter a bit. I run on 433mhz but I bet lora is good enough even at the US 915. So yeah it can even go further. Meshtastic 254KM was done on US 915. meshtastic.org/docs/overview/range-tests/

Is that 5-10 KM range based on frequencies available in the US, or worldwide?

Can you outline generally which frequencies are for which countries? I could not find those details.
Or which frequencies are better for which use cases? (urban housing vs bush hiking. )
Looking for Australian specific details too.
Very interesting tech.

Thanks for that info.

It’s achievable by any frequency supported by Meshtastic. The average range you can expect, with good LoS, is between that 5-10km range.
However, if you have different circumstances you can expect less or even far above the average.

The range test article above shows the current record for a successful ping/chirp to another node. It’s at 254km currently :)
