Honestly not sure why the community would spend effort with a very proprietary solution like this where the
actual communications components are only available from one company and not open.
There is a perfectly good fully open alternative now to long distance IoT communications. Google: LoRaWAN

LoRa is also proprietary. There are just more vendors licensing it.

Before “Open Source” was a thing, “Open” meant: vendor-neutral technology standards and
certifications. As in work done by the Open Group, which certifies Unix, etc. etc. with a membership of
over 500 companies. I don’t think the original poster went to back to edit his comment; but as it is
now, he uses the phrase “VERY proprietary.” There is a large spectrum between suing every
possible threat for possible trademark infringement, and CopyLeft, which theoretically should be as
legally enforceable as Copyright, but in reverse. Actually Open Source groups recognized the
subtleties when they rejected Gnu Free Software restrictions and accepted MIT licenses and BSD
licenses, etc. I’m still grateful for “Free Software” zealots, as they fight for things like non-proprietary
boot firmware, which RPi unfortunately has, as almost every PC. I’d like to see Libre Computer
Boards at Sparkfun. I hope they catch on.

In 2003, CU student Nate Seidle fried a power supply in his dorm room
and, in lieu of a way to order easy replacements, decided to start his
own company. Since then, SparkFun has been committed to sustainably
helping our world achieve electronics literacy from our headquarters in
Boulder, Colorado.
No matter your vision, SparkFun's products and resources are designed
to make the world of electronics more accessible. In addition to over
2,000 open source components and widgets, SparkFun offers
curriculum, training and online tutorials designed to help demystify the
wonderful world of embedded electronics. We're here to help you start
something.
