I am really surprised this isn't already more of a 'thing'.
When I did my postgrad research project, back in 2016, I was using LoRaWAN and thought it was so obviously going to be huge in e.g. AgriTech. Surprised not that much has happened with it tbh.
Cheap LoRa chips are finally hitting the market for long enough that ecosystems can grow around them. As an example, for Radio Control vehicles (planes, drones, cars) there have been 3 different systems released over the past year or so, and now an open source system called ExpressLRS which is gaining traction.
