As radio amateurs, within the confines of our international, national and sometimes local regulations, we can improve technology. APRS works well. But it can be drastically improved. LoRa APRS represents the next step forward in evolving APRS. Amateur radio is also an almost ideal solution to the problem of back up emergency communications. Depending on the type of equipment you choose, Amateur Radio radio can be portable, it can provide both short range and long range communication, and it can continue to work even when local infrastructure goes down. LoRa APRS can provide location, weather information and texting over a longer distance than conventional APRS.
