Danwhat if I told you that you could do Ethernet over LoRA?
Check out a thing I'm working on: https://github.com/datapartyjs/lorapipe
We have a roadmap here: https://github.com/orgs/datapartyjs/projects/4/views/1
APRS also Just Works™️

this demonstration was at very close range (~10m) using close to the fastest LoRA preset possible using this hardware: Bandwidth 500KHz, Spreading Factor 5, Coding Rate 5 (4 is less redundant, therefore faster)

Richard@yo3gnd @meph yeah for my use case scenario im trying to smash as much bandwidth possible over not too great a distance. maybe a block or two. like, lets fill the gap between too far for wifi and needs an lte radio. think of something like a nice axis camera on a solar panel and an outdoor zwave pir sensor. like a trailcam on steroids but without all the shady chinese lte backhauls or pesky verizon sneakybullshits or stingray planes/vans
@Viss @yo3gnd check out WiFi HaLow, RAK has some chips that support HaLow for a good price, check here: https://store.rakwireless.com/products/choose-other-wireless-module-with-wisgate-connect?variant=42432936804550
There's another outfit named Teledatics that has some HaLow hardware, but their website seems to be having some issues.
In the one very suboptimal test of HaLow that I did, I was able to get a couple Mbps around 2 city blocks away from the 900MHz HaLow AP, which was suboptimally placed indoors and near ground level.
