Support 802.11 ("WiFi") as tracker communication protocol

[lennartkoopmann]

Currently, only LoRa is supported for tracker communications. It is a good choice to avoid problems in possibly jammed or similarly deteriorated WiFi environments, however it requires a whole set of additional hardware.

As an alternative to LoRa, the 802.11 "WiFi" protocol should be supported for tracker communications.

The underlying code architecture is already prepared to support different types of tracker communication devices and protocols with varying transmission reliability and speeds.

I am also interested in this. A deployment model that I suspect others may want to deploy would involve tracker nodes being deployed and communicating with the leader node via an TCP/IP.

(ie: a RaspberryPi (or other SBC) with both an Ethernet & Wifi interface is setup as a tracker. The wifi interface is used for tracker functionality and the Ethernet port is used for management & connectivity to the leader node)

I'm still reading the source to understand how Tracker / Leader communications work, but if it's over a serial interface, it may be possible do some virtual com port bridge.
