> Extremely niched use cases, e.g. rescue beacon or weather/radiation monitoring far out in nowhere. That's if you're using it as the only channel (i.e. your data plane). It still works fine as a control plane or a signaling channel, e.g. so you know your remote sensor now has 100GiB of data ready to be collected. That said, even as a data channel, you can pack a lot of information into a 192 byte packet; and 4800 bytes per day is plenty for some use cases - including one that's been rattling in my mind for years and the best solution I had come up with was a fixed-wing drone loitering over a site and exchanging data over a 2.4/5Ghz link
