The fastest LoRaWAN data rate specified in the US is Data Rate 13 LoRa: SF7 / 500 kHz: 21900kbit/s.

Even dropping outside of the highly restrictive LoRaWAN specification and going with the fastest physical parameters available for LoRa on the 900Mhz bands (on-time restrictions aside), BW500 (500kHz bandwidth), Spreading Factor 6, Coding Rate 4:5, you end up with 35700 baud.

You can drop these modems into 2FSK mode and increase speed, but at that point the range isn't particularly appealing.

Regardless, the point stands: not a mesh network WAP internet redux, an IoT tool.

> 21900kbit/s

Correction here, you meant 21900 bits per second (21.9 kibibits per second in SI terms), not kilobits per second.
