Use LoRA module for audio transmission?

[babadoctor]

Is it possible to use LoRA for a live audio transmission?

 

I know LoRA is half duplex, but so is WiFi, so shouldn't it technically be possible to do something like VOIP over LoRAWAN?

 

I couldn't find any projects relating to the subject, so any advice is appreciated.

 

The main project I wanted to do was build a doorbell with audio transmission capabilities. 

 

E.g user presses button on doorbell, an audio channel is opened, and I can speak to whoever is outside, and they can speak to me.

You can use LoRA-capable modules to transmit whatever you want, but not through LoRAWAN since that's a wide area network you have no need for to make a local system and that has strict requirements and limitations that are geared towards extremely low amounts of data.

Oh, I see...

 

I think I misunderstood what lorawan is, I thought it was a technique of using TCP/IP over Lora between two devices

I think you could do it, so long as you can work out how to convert your audio into packets and then decode them back to something you can spit out through a DAC, it should be pretty doable.
