It's a pity that LoRa is all proprietary and patented.
An open alternative would provide more opportunities for experimenting.
EDIT: there are alternatives like HaLow and DASH7 on paper but nothing you can buy (for 4 euro like LoRa)
- wmf 4y agoMaybe HaLow is more open.
- edrxty 4y agoM17 is possibly what you're looking for? Not specifically mesh but could be used similarly or extended. It's a a protocol that provides data and digital voice transmissions and works (with some modification) on a few existing commercial grade handheld radios running OpenRTX open source firmware. The only thing we need is a radio that has a Bluetooth module.
- marcodiego 4y agoI sometimes think about buying one of those LoRa arduino shields for some experiments. What exactly is proprietary in these?
- goodpoint 4y agoThe chipset, the modulation, the protocol itself, it's all proprietary and patented.
- pabs3 4y agoRange is lower for those though I thought.
