I think the article is explaining that this is really just modifying wifi protocols to work over LoRa, to reduce LoRa costs.

This will probably only be beneficial to people currently using LoRa.

I thought that LORA was optimized for low data throughput? Running WIFI over such a link would suck.

Also isn’t LoRa proprietary/patent encumbered?
