915 MHz is the center frequency of what is known as the 33-centimeter band, which is named after the wavelength at this frequency. It is also known as the 900 MHz band and spans 902 MHz to 928 MHz. The 915 MHz frequency band is designated by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as an unlicensed Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency band which means that it can be used globally for LoRa networking with minimal restriction. Its ability to support long-range transmissions efficiently is advantageous. Other notable uses of this frequency band include amateur radio, as discussed further on.
The 915 MHz antenna that is used for LoRa networking supports long-range connectivity that is comparable to lower frequencies like the 433 MHz band (though the 915 MHz antennas are higher gain). In the US, the use of the 433 MHz band is restricted by FCC regulations so this higher frequency band is the only sub gigahertz band available to support LoRa connectivity.
