LoRa as a free, long-range communication technology enables many new use-cases. Besides its main use of building IoT sensor networks, it can also be used to build alternative communication infrastructure, e.g., for disaster responses. As LoRa has very limited bandwidth and duty-cycle restrictions, existing communication patterns and protocols from the internet cannot be directly applied here. Different approaches can be explored to maximize the usefulness of such a communication system, e.g., by combining mesh networks and store, carry and forward approaches.
