🎥 Long-Range Radio; a Network That Works Even Without the Internet

If the internet is cut off again for any reason, is there, in principle, an alternative way for it to exist? So far, many efforts have been made to find such a solution. For example, Direct to Cell technology (direct communication with a satellite) is a new technology from Starlink that has not yet become widespread and is not available. But one of these options involves a method that very few people might have considered. Radio!

In “long-range radio” technology, frequency bands that do not require a license are used. In other words, the same bands that have long been allocated worldwide for civilian equipment such as weather stations and garage door openers. In this approach, small radio modules—about the size of a palm—send encrypted data packets over several kilometers. Without Wi-Fi, without a mobile network, and without an internet connection.
