Really cool, I like hardware that uses power like this

Also with something like this if it's using say a cellular or sat network you could drop it in the wilderness somewhere, a node that is hard to take down. Maybe some kind of Lorawan is more realistic but yeah something working remote/not on standard network provider. (but somehow is visible by http? hmm)

Lorawan would not provide a very pleasant user experience.

What is it like a "dropped packets" deal? This is not my field at all. I just hear about it a lot regarding low power/far range.

It's slow and shared spectrum. Even if you max out your legal duty cycle (which increases the risk you get interference from others, and interfere with others) and have perfect conditions, you get <50kbyte per hour.
