Any open alternatives to LoRa? I would like to setup a network that would cover a 20km radius even if it is only 1kb/s

- ourlordcaffeine 7y agoI don't know how open it is, but there is Wi-Sun to try out. They have a statement on open-ness: https://www.wi-sun.org/wp-content/uploads/Wi-SUN-Alliance-Policy-on-Open-Source-Implementations-1V0.pdf https://www.wi-sun.org/wp-content/uploads/Wi-SUN-Alliance-Po.... Ti's long range 15.4 implementation is not open but is much cheaper than LoRa, you just need two $20 Launchpad boards, one as a basestation and one as your client. You could also just use the LaunchPad's packet radio api to implement your own simple protocol, you just need to remember to keep to the limitations imposed by the authorities (duty cycle, wait time).
