Our balloons will use Lora. Both the balloon computer itself (for command / control on a dedicated hardened network ) and our m2m/IOT flying backbone (for customers with IOT devices outside cell range )zz

Lora is amazing !

I am skeptical of this claim. LoRa operates in the 860-928MHz range, so groundwave and skywave are not in effect (not even e-skip). Moreover, water absorbs most RF, including in this range.
