I wonder why they went with their own proprietary network as opposed to lorawan. Would be good to know what they found lacking. Probably the range due to 915 mhz fcc power limits. 60 miles is very impressive. Also couldn't figure out the data rate.

This will be useful for smaller mines which don't have the funds to install expensive 2.4 ghz mesh nodes to track and route their trucks.

My internal cynic would say that "Not Invented Here" syndrome is still alive at Sony.
