Comment on This Tiny Radio Lets Me Send Texts Without Wi-Fi or Cell Service

LoRa has been around for a while trying to break through with different devices, some of it does seem useful, but it’s a tough sell to invest in something without knowing where the network will go. A carrier model or something else, maybe subsidies, is needed.

Not much bandwidth to know do much beyond text, so use-cases are probably very limited already.

SMS style communication?

Even for that LoRa can basically only act as a bridge, unless LoRa radios start being built into phones instead of being separate devices.

I feel like I saw some device that could do both posted on Lemmy not that long ago.
