RFM95W Parts

Hi there, I am currently using the SparkFun LoRa Gateway - 1-Channel (ESP32) and I want to build a custom PCB around it.

However, I saw in the datasheet that HopeRF makes two different part numbers for the LoRa transceiver:

P/N: RFM95W-868S2 RFM95W module at 868MHz band, SMD Package

P/N: RFM95W-915S2 RFM95W module at 915MHz band, SMD Package

What part number does Sparkfun use? Sparkfun specifies that their module is for both LoRa bands?

A digikey part number would also be appreciated.

Hello danieldeesousa,

We use the RFM95W-915S2 on the LoRa 1-Channel. A quick search of this should pop the part right up.

Great, it looks like only the 868 modules are available on Digikey. Do you know if there is a problem with using these modules for 915 MHz operation?

There isn’t anything that we’re currently aware of. You can view comments and product reviews on our site for the product [here.](RFM69HCW Wireless Transceiver - 915MHz - COM-13909 - SparkFun Electronics)
