Correct considering the RFM95W LoRa Radios can give you 1 to 1.5 miles range using simple wire antennas and more using directional antennas.
Just posted some new simplified LoRa radio module code that compiles without errors via Particle DEV if your interested in testing these radios. I have not had time to test this new library code but plan on doing it soon. They are much simpler than the Radio Head libraries usually used with the RFM95 & 96 radios.
