Integrating Signal K with the Meshtastic LoRa mesh network enables off-grid, no-cost boat-to-shore communication and telemetry. You can monitor your boat’s status and receive alerts without relying on cellular or satellite connections.
This is actually the intended usecase of LoRa. Imagine you’re a farmer or other similar industry with a large plot of land. You want to monitor moisture level of the soil or water level in a storage tank or something similarly simple. You can do this over long distances without any sort of cellular or other connectivity.
This is a neat use case I hadn’t considered, and now one more thing to add to my ever-growing list of neat tech things I want to do.

I had spoken with several people that work ranches about the potential for LoRa, and am glad to see the fruit ripen after having this time.
