I had to do a double take there on "Lo-Fi", thinking you meant something to do with audio fidelity... :lol: I presume you mean "Long-Fi". The thread would also probably fit better in the PinePhone Hardware subforum
As for the question, I'm not familiar with the concept of "Long-Fi" (unless we're talking WISP PtP links) and the Helium website or articles about them don't provide much info. If it can use standard client 802.11n hardware that the PinePhone is already equipped with then it would probably just be a case of implementing their protocol in software. If they use specialized hardware (which I couldn't find for sale anywhere) then it may be THEORETICALLY possible as a hardware extension using the Pogo pins on the back of the phone. As for whether it would be practically possible or even viable for use, I have no idea.
