ESP32 can't go wrong

I need a LoRa system with ESP32. The ESP32 is a great microcontroller and seems to be very mature with the Arduino IDE. The only problem with the device is the antenna. It's only marginally useful at 915MHz and only good for short-range testing. I tested it with a 9GHz VNA and it showed very low gain at 915MHz and terrible SWR. I would advise if you need long distances to find a better antenna.
