"This project explores the potential of using low-cost/low-bandwidth LoRa radios to build simple mesh networks that can pass text messages around town."<p>"Networks of this type could be useful for emergency communications or other applications that can take advantage of the fully-autonomous (carbon-neutral) nature of the birdhouse repeater stations."<p>"The design is made available for amateur (non-commercial) purposes in the spirit of experimentation and knowledge sharing amongst the ham community. At the very least, we're creating homes for some lucky birds in our area."
