+## Some Facts about RSSI and SNR
+
+https://lora.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#rssi
+
+RSSI minimum = -120 dBm.
+
+RSSI < -90 dBm: this signal is extremely weak, at the edge of what a receiver can receive.
+RSSI -67dBm: this is a fairly strong signal.
+RSSI > -55dBm: this is a very strong signal.
+RSSI > -30dBm: your sniffer is sitting right next to the transmitter.
+
+https://lora.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#snr
+
+Typical LoRa SNR values are between: -20dB and +10dB
+
+A value closer to +10dB means the received signal is less corrupted.
+
+LoRa can demodulate signals which are -7.5 dB to -20 dB below the noise floor.
