LoRA is very neat, been playing with Meshtastic lately a bit - only downside is how fucking chatty it is, which makes it very easy to perform direction finding / trilateration using something like a KrakenSDR (or just a normal SDR and a directional antenna).
At some point I’d like to mess with trying to do “burst” comms over LoRA, maybe meshtastic can be fiddled with to act in this manner - where it only actually sends RF traffic when it has something to say.
I just double-checked and I got my initial spelling (LoRA) wrong. Its actually spelled (LoRa) (lower-case a, not an upper-case). I've edited my earlier message to correct my mistake.
LoRA is the LLM / deep learning stuff. LoRa is the radio. Hurrah, overloaded terms!
You can configure the spreading factor and bandwidth to make the bursts very short, at the cost of robustness to interference etc. And transmit at sparse intervals if you want.
