How do long-range wireless technologies perform outside the lab?

This new field study by Eric Ryherd of DrZWave.Blog compares Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR), LoRa, and Wi-Fi HaLow using commercially available products tested under identical real-world suburban and light urban conditions. The report examines RF range through common obstacles including wood-frame homes, trees, brick, and concrete buildings. Results provide practical insight into the performance and distinct characteristics of each technology when evaluating options for commercial IoT applications.
