Well, I guess it depends very much whom you ask... 😋

In a slightly nerdy community like Mastodon (my apologies... 🫣) certainly comms solutions like Meshxxx and Reticulum are better known than e. g. LoRaWAN, whose footprint is much more relevant for professional solutions like energy metering, cool chain monitoring, waste management, asset tracking, etc.

In such solutions sensors count in the millions worldwide..

@rocking_horse #Reticulum seems to be non-ham radio protocol. It's purpose is to send traffic over all sorts of different PHY layers. It's distributed and encrypted. There are more #preppers than there are HAMs

#LoRaWAN is an unlicensed IT protocol maintained by the LoRa Alliance. Not #HAM radio

#LoRaAPRS originated in Austria. I helped translate German documentation into English and Spanish to bring it to ITU region 2. It's more wide-spread in Spanish speaking countries than the US.
