A set of radio devices and technologies are opening the doorway to new and revolutionary forms of communication. These have the potential to break down the
over-reliance on traditional network hierarchies, and present collaborative alternatives where resistance to censorship, control and surveillance are baked into the network topography itself. Here, we look at a few of these technologies
and what they might mean for the future of networked communications.
The idea of what is broadly referred to as mesh networking isnrCOt new: the resilience and scalability of mesh technology has seen it adopted in router and IoT protocols for decades. WhatrCOs new is cheap devices that can be used without
a radio license to communicate over (relatively) large distances, or LOng RAnge,
thus the moniker LoRa.
