I think that depends a lot on the area and local clubs, some are better than others.
While this looks interesting I'm curious if they've done the numbers for Lora throughput. It's very, very low(which is also what makes it able to punch through everything).
Honestly I'm surprised they're not going for a p2p directional wifi. You've got a lot more hardware to choose from(pretty much all WISP hardware) and it has much better throughput with the benefit of dedicated links. Anything that's omnidirectional is going to have to deal with collisions which is not an easy thing to do.
Using LoRa and going omni-directional lets you get away with less upfront setup and a sparser node coverage. Point to point requires some knowledge of node locations for bringing more areas online.
