Sorry, the article is more of a broad overall comparison, and I wanted to help others who are new to LoRa tech a well. Might help explain why each are beneficial.
For those currently running a repeater or device, or even experience with several nodes, which do you run? What brand? Any recommendations or suggestions?
I plan on using both but worried signals might be crossed or interfere since their frequencies are so similar. MC for at home and MT for on-the-go or shtf and we all need to meet up, etc.
I think interference isn’t much of a problem with protocols like LoRa. Unless you do things like pump out packets at full capacity:
Meshtastic adopts CSMA/CA, similar as to what is used in WiFi. This means that all transmitters must perform Channel Activity Detection (CAD) before attempting to transmit. If the channel is considered busy, the node will wait until it is not anymore. […]
In north america, there are still many, many devices using the unlicensed 900MHz band, mostly sensors and telemetry.
