Eldritch@piefed.world 2 days agoI've seen one. Not a great sample size. A YouTuber who also does a lot of mesh-tastic videos. Demonstrated live streaming from an ESP32 camera module in a large public park. High resolution low frame rate. As well as in a bridge configuration streaming YouTube from their apartment close to practical range limits. Roughly line of sight, minimal obstruction, of course.
Guaranteed success? No. But definitely something worth looking into investigating and replicating. Devices like these are much more accessible to your average person than ham certification and equipment.

I appreciate the response.
I’m still keeping an eye on these technologies and I hope we can set some decent standards for alternates to WiFi and LTE narrow band.

No worries. And I remembered the youtubers name. Data Slayer. He's got a few halow videos. 1Km and several Mbps is just about the baseline to be interesting. Lorawan range is great. But the data rate really is far too low for anything outside iot or im.
Some of the heletech modules look very promising and not unaffordable.
