LoRa Mesh

We are testing LoRa mesh for commercial open-source applications — applications that keep working without internet and without electricity.

What we are testing right now

Stationary Chrome PWAs with Bluetooth LE that reconcile their local-first databases with mobile devices — peer to peer, over CRDTs, with no server in between.

Where it would be used

  • Booking systems with little metadata and little tracking, for fitness and yoga studios.
  • Booking systems for coworking spaces with several locations.

Conceivable, not built yet

Devices in branches that reconcile their data over WebRTC and over a LoRa mesh — whichever of the two happens to be there.

What runs today is the Bluetooth part. LoRa itself is under evaluation: the radio carries very little data and its airtime is regulated. What fits through it, and what does not, is exactly what we are finding out.
