    I live in an East coast pine forest where the average urethra has longer range than sub-watt UHF. What range testing I’ve done with the two nodes I own shows I can get about 3 blocks with one of my nodes on my roof. Around here, you’d need adoption at a truly impossible scale to get any use out of LoRa as an infrastructure protocol.

    I know of three projects that use LoRa as the carrier technology: Meshtastic, Meshcore and even Reticulum (which isn’t strictly LoRa but I’ve seen it extended across LoRa). Meshtastic is probably the worst, and most popular, of the lot.
