@M0CUV My amateur understanding is that only a #licenced #radio #ham is, e.g. in Germany, allowed to transmit at higher power than the 500 mW ( = 27 dBm ) allowed by all; but then in that case only without encryption. Therefore if you stick to the "public" power parameters ( https://www.loramesh.org/#settings ) , a #lora mesh is fine with encryption. Some info is put together here https://www.loramesh.org/#law
I would be very glad to hear of more links with information.
