Mesh Networks: The future of campus tech
Smart campuses are adopting LoRa mesh networks for sustainable, off-grid data management. Is this the blueprint for future urban infrastructure?
FO Take · Score 78
This isn't about campuses; it's about control. Decentralised mesh networks like LoRa promise resilience and autonomy, bypassing corporate internet giants. Expect them to proliferate, empowering local communities and challenging the centralised digital infrastructure. Will we finally escape Big Tech's pervasive reach?
The strongest counter
LoRa mesh networks are niche, limited by bandwidth and range. They are a supplement, not a replacement, for established cellular and Wi-Fi networks in complex urban environments. Scalability remains a significant hurdle.
