The author is conflating max allowed bandwidth from the bridge to Sidewalk server with per-end-node bandwidth. The 80Kbps includes the bundle of all of the LoRaWAN messages it has received for all end-node-devices within range. This is a marketing point to show the Amazon device owner that this won't consume large amounts of their bandwidth. The Things Network suggests a maximum expectation of 250 BITS/s. This is not going to replace cell networks. https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/lorawan/limitations.ht...
