Sirius006@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoCan you elaborate a bit? I checked their website but I’m a noob. I’m in Europe, I don’t know if this network is in use here. Also I’m not sure I can see the use case for me now but I don’t mind paying 30€ if it can be useful to others, and maybe to me later. To add a bit of context : I think we are quickly following the american trend at least in my country

Haven’t tried it yet but it has to operate on another frequency band and is quite limited in terms of duty cycles. I’ll try anyway, and I don’t think getting a licence to access higher duty cycles limits and power should be that hard.

It works in Europe too. It uses LoRa (A Long Range radio protocol) to be able to send messages out to other nodes, which can bounce them out to further nodes. A node can be configured to relay through the Internet to reach people in other areas.
I ordered the radio shown below from a kit on Amazon (it’s a Heltec v4 and came with a battery that isn’t pictured) and it took about 5 minutes to setup. Attaching the antenna to the board was the hardest part.
