    Do we have the new Lara protocol already with voice and all? I forgot about those things, been waiting for that to hop in.

        Yes I know, but on the new version it was said to be done better, faster, higher quality and much easier.

          Lora has like 12k max bandwidth, much less in real environments. Voice works in asymmetric transmission (like walkie talkies), but it’s not useful in any meaningful way over unlicensed airwaves.

            I read somewhere that the new version was supposed to improve that and make it viable for talking. I might be wrong though.

              Analog, yes, no problem. We had 915MHz portable phones that worked fine. Digital is another matter altogether, and encrypted is a licensing mess.

      There’s always a tradeoff. Shannon’s law cannot be avoided (without new physics). You can have 2 of low power, long range, and high bandwidth, not all 3 at once. Fortunately, the most important information we exchange isnt actually much data.
