   All the crossplatforming and use of traditional protocols and AT commands most   
   can use without being a an expert I am interested in.   
   It would seem since you can emulate DOS on raspberry Pi computers ,all models,   
   and esp32 MCUs and such that LoRa could cheaply and affordably be intergrated.   
      
   Raspberry Pi is an easy search with lots of support so I won't explain much on   
   it.    
   The esp32 is something more interesting and less known. It can be used as a   
   man server/client and Host as well as just an assessory if programmed to think   
   its a dialup modem when its a wifi relay, bridge etc.. You can mesh these.    
   Arduino IDE is what I use to write most but their are many ways people write    
   to these/program them. You can even through a browser. Best part. you can get    
   them for a few dollars. they can run ultra lowpower so solar battery banks can   
   work easy as well.*   
    I think these would be a great way to create an area (sq miles) or linear    
   network (miles long). LoRa modules are not expensive and alot of devices like    
   SBC computers Orange Pi raspberryPi etc.. have alot of searchable support with   
   perpheral attachment to the GPIO like UART connectivity to add these modules.   
   Pimoroni had a esp8266 IoT Phat they called it. I have one. Its simply an    
   esp8266 connected UART with proper power saftey.    
      
   I do have DVM HAT for a raspberry pi but I dont have my lic so I cant    
   broadcast.    
      
   I listen to alot of RF and also use a DVB-T FM DAB usb Dongle and Gqrx Program   
   on a Rasp Pi or my Baofeng.
