What's EXTREMELY exciting about 2.4GHz LoRa is the possibility of building long links with much higher bandwidth without having to make the jump to WiFi / Arden or Wifi Halow. Each of which would have a pretty huge step up in power, complexity or licensing.
This now means long #meshcore backhaul links like those between high mountains in the PNW could likely add 2.4GHz and get upto 100x the total bandwidth!

@nullagent@partyon.xyz @dataparty@partyon.xyz @rfparty@partyon.xyz the data rate for LoRa is just so much lower (even at 2.4GHz) than HaLow (~30 KB/s vs. ~40 MB/s). LoRa still shines wrt range, though.

@nullagent@partyon.xyz @dataparty@partyon.xyz @rfparty@partyon.xyz One thing I'm curious about is whether 2.4 GHz LoRA can use a much larger payload size, in order to encapsulate multiple small LoRA payloads over point-to-point links. I can see this making a lot of sense, so that a train of messages can be sent in one go, over a ptp link that is much less likely to have collisions on the RF link.
