While its compact design and integrated capabilities make it an excellent choice, it should be noted that the board does not natively support external antennas. Instead, it features a high-quality PCB antenna optimized for typical IoT applications. Here are the key highlights: - __Support for Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)__ - Provides enhanced speed, improved efficiency in congested environments, and reduced latency, making it a future-ready option for testing modern Wi-Fi capabilities. -- __Sub-GHz Capability__ - Essential for evaluating long-range communication performance with ESP-NOW-LR, especially in challenging environments like forests or rugged terrains. +- __2.4GHz Capability__ - Essential for evaluating long-range communication performance with ESP-NOW-LR, especially in challenging environments like forests or rugged terrains. - __Integrated PCB Antenna__ - While limited to an on-board antenna, the design ensures a compact and reliable setup for short- to medium-range testing. The board does not include a U.FL connector or external antenna support, which may limit range in certain scenarios. - __Power Efficiency__ - Designed for low-power operation, enabling prolonged testing in remote areas without frequent recharging, simulating real-world IoT deployment scenarios. - __Development Ecosystem__ - Fully compatible with Espressif’s ESP-IDF framework and third-party tools, making configuration, programming, and analysis straightforward and efficient. @@ -101,7 +101,7 @@ Success rates in open fields were near 100% up to 450 meters and dropped to 40% ## Conclusion -The ESP32 platform offers powerful and flexible communication protocols that cater to a wide range of applications.
