"This project explores the potential of using low-cost/low-bandwidth LoRa radios to build simple mesh networks that can pass text messages around town."

"Networks of this type could be useful for emergency communications or other applications that can take advantage of the fully-autonomous (carbon-neutral) nature of the birdhouse repeater stations."

"The design is made available for amateur (non-commercial) purposes in the spirit of experimentation and knowledge sharing amongst the ham community. At the very least, we're creating homes for some lucky birds in our area."
