Dear people who want to #decentralize everythingband are a fan of #LoRa, #meshtastic and #OpenSource,
I'm writing to you today to inquire where you stand on the fact that it's all based on a propritary radio, created by a single company. If they were to discontinue this line, it'd mean no new hardware.
It may sound unlikely to discontinue a product that people love, but this recently happened with GoTenna. You can still use existing hardware, but no new gear, no support, no growing your network, no bringing other people in.
Has anyone successfully used an SDR to interface with LoRa? That would eliminate the single point of failure.
This also applies to things like #reticulum and #NomadNet which also rely on LoRa.
Dr. Hax
