Meshtastic the app built for the LoRa band, is low bandwidth. Its a bandaid, not a replacement. If internation packet routing is blocked (as Russia planned to do at one point) or key sites blocked (China's great firewall) or if access is gatekept by ID (South Korea before sometime in the early 2010's) a higher bandwidth solution would need deployed. There are directional wifi repeaters for that as well as delay tolerant network packet routing for those cases.
