"These communications are of very low bit-rate … and use very little power. Useful for … a wide range of situations where traditional infrastructure is lacking or intermittent, and communication with others over dispersed or changing physical terrain is essential. Research is showing how Search and Rescue (SAR) teams can greatly benefit from the use of LoRa, specifically when coupled with GPS sensors, and especially when complimented by line-of-sight LoRa repeaters." https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/07/radio-hobbyists-rejoice-good-news-lora-mesh
