Has /g/ ever tried messing around with LoRa?
>>107888670No
>>107888670Yes, I make my living off of it.
>>107888670a million government restrictions on how strong the signal is allowed to be, paired with the signals source being easily triangulated makes it pretty useless for me.
I just ordered an elecrow thinknode to play with meshtastic.. I can see exactly one node about 5km from me on meshmap so maybe I can get reception, maybe not.
>>107888871What frequency band does not have legal power (max EIRP) and duty cycle restrictions?
>>107888670I use 48 channel video on drones with a 15-30KM range.
>That number of (publicly published, not on by default) meshtastic nodes in TaiwanHoly shitKind of weird Japan Tokyo has jack shit
>>107888950You have to keep in mind that Japan has just reached the year 2000 technologically speaking
>>107888894it's not that there are restrictions but about how limiting they are. I don't live in a rural area so what range could I get with EU restrictions? like 2 km? I just looked it up and there is a higher power band but it fits only 1 channel meaning you are gonna be contesting with everyone else
I ordered some seeedboard Wios. I hope I can talk to some nodes around me. I agree the restrictions suck. But I really like the idea of independent decentralization communication during emergencies. The AWS and now telecom outages have made me very suspicious of internet and cell comms
>>107888981that's actually a feature, not a bug
>>107888992LoRa's high link budget due to the chirp-spread- spectrum modulation might still make it have some good range -- what alternative for non-rural long range communication do you see in license-free bands? Get in a licensed band and pump the TX power to max, using FSK?
