Hey

A quick question for the #MeshCore and #MeshTastic or globally #LoRa entusiasts.

I see a lot of articles praising the resilience of the various protocols in case of regular infrastructure collapse. NGL, it's nice.

Now, on the contrary, what's the plan in case of a local authority willing to jam the frequency?

I mean, wouldn't it be crazy easy to disconnect a whole métropole in a blink ?

@PacoVelobs it is not resilient to anything... It's just a Pokemon go catching game in real life with radio frequencies.
So don't worry it won't be in any usable form at any point.

@PacoVelobs its very easy to make it totally unuasble even without any intentional jamming.

The only resilience is in possibility to work longer in case of power grid failure or internet outage, but it is not something that will work at scale.

@PacoVelobs quick answer: probably yes.
An AtomBomb would'nt help either.
But think nature hazards with large scale power outages. Stuff like this.

@PacoVelobs yea easily possible I think. I wonder if anyone in that position would think to do it tho.
