Using Meshtastic devices for Blockchain Telecommunications Platforms (Decentralized Telecommunications Network)

Can we develop hardware that supports Video, Voice, Data transmission on a blockchain with a Telecommunications Service Provider Use-Case?

If so, can it incorporate Consensus Algorithms like Proof of Work to secure the Network? From a Hardware Point of View…???

DECENTRALIZED TELECOMMUNICATIONS

Can we develop hardware that supports Video, Voice, Data transmission on a blockchain with a Telecommunications Service Provider Use-Case?

Well yes, obviously. But not with LoRA

These are the channel settings that have been predefined into Meshtastic.

Short range (but fast) - 21.875 kbps
Medium range (but fast) - 5.469 kbps ← This is the default
Long range (but slower) - 0.275 kbps
Very long range (but slow) 0.183 kbps

As for the overhead of running the blockchain, well good luck with having enough of your 0.275 kbps left over for text, never mind video and voice.

So in practice, no. Not a snowball’s chance in hell.
