Ah sorry. I mainly work in electronics so I forget sometimes :) basically LoRa is this new-ish radio system. It's long radio (kilometers) and low power. It is really ideal for short messages, it was designed mainly for small devices. Because of the frequency it uses, it is essentially available to anyone which is why there is some excitement about using it for decentralized and distributed applications.

However, it does have limitations so it's not a wifi replacement.

Here's a decent, but slightly technical overview: https://www.digikey.com/en/maker/blogs/introduction-to-lora-technology
