Interesting to see their "mDot" product, which has ARM mbed libraries - but it's running the same CPU as the Pyboard 1
Would be interesting to see the LoRaWAN (Low power, long range WAN) and MicroPython running on the same thing. Would make for a very neat little configurable board with minimum fuss!
The idea of LoRa is to have many satellite devices - up to about 10 miles away - feeding information back to a central gateway (e.g. the Linux-based Multitech Conduit) that can process the incoming data and feed up to the Internet etc. The Conduit can have embedded 3G/4G too to bridge devices in the locality to the cellular network. There are public LoRa points being trialled in some countries - for very low data rates - for IoT applications.

Disclaimer: No links to Multitech, except that we use some of their products. Just noticed the similarity of CPU and intent, and thought that MicroPython might be a very nice match
