Mesh technologies and LoRa, an update
summary
Panel reports real deployments and hard tradeoffs: 2,000-node Defcon test and 2,500-node Burning Man mesh run special firmware for dense capacity, NeoCortec ports NeoMesh to the LoRa physical layer and offers module partners, Meshtastic publishes open‑source stacks; tools include site planning, live load testing and automated edge/gateway monitoring, KPIs focus on duty cycle, airtime, CRC error behavior and battery life targets like ten years, and roadmaps mention IP/DMS integration, higher PHY bitrates, satellite uplinks and edge AI for low‑bandwidth event reporting.
