FOAM [1] is trying to solve this. They're using a distributed network of radio beacons which offer location services using time synchronization.

Every day I discover a new use case crammed into a blockchain with a sledgehammer.


While I can get behind many of the use cases for FOAM's proposed product, avoiding interference isn't one of them.

LoRa is particularly susceptible to jamming. Given the frequencies used, accidental jamming by legally operating transmitters is a very real possibility.

It also turns out that LoRaWAN is vulnerable to selective jamming, but I'm not sure whether or not FOAM is looking to make use of the LoRaWAN layer.
