Comment on This Tiny Radio Lets Me Send Texts Without Wi-Fi or Cell Service
brunoqc@piefed.ca 3 days agoIt allows us to make a mesh network with Lora radio devices. Lora is slow but has long range. I think it works better when you have line of sight, like if someone can put a node on a mountain, it would help everyone.
I think people might have sent audio with it but it's mostly useful for text messages. It could be useful if the Internet is down, maybe, but it's more like a toy.

Since LoRa devices use very little power this can be useful when there is no electricity.
