From Experimentation to Standardization — The “Australia: Victoria” Preset was born This article represents the culmination of months of dedication, collaboration, and experimentation from many contributors within the MeshCore Victoria community. Through countless field tests, range trials, and live deployments across the state, the team worked together to refine a configuration that pushes the limits…

LoRa?
The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly transforming industries across Australia — from smart agriculture and mining to logistics and infrastructure management. At the heart of many of these systems lies LoRa, a wireless communication technology designed for long-range, low-power data transmission. If you’ve ever wondered how remote water sensors, weather stations, or livestock trackers…
Antennas for 915Mhz ISM Band
The 915 MHz ISM band (specifically 915–928 MHz in Australia) underpins much of today’s IoT and industrial telemetry landscape — powering systems such as LoRaWAN, Sigfox, and wireless sensor networks. While transmit power and modulation schemes determine signal robustness, the antenna defines how efficiently that signal travels. Choosing the right antenna can mean the difference…
ISM Bands in Australia
Overview The Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands in Australia are defined in the Australian Radiofrequency Spectrum Plan (ARSP 2025), maintained by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). These are frequency ranges available for shared, license-exempt use — primarily for non-communication applications, but widely repurposed by modern communication systems such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRaWAN,…
