Any tips on how to avoid this? I suppose those tin foil signal blockers might be useful?

Not use any device that has GSM/LTE, or Bluetooth.

Alternatively, broadcast a hidden SSID WiFi AP via an enabled RPi and use only devices that's have WiFi. Hand them out to people for free to increase the spread.

Attach magnets to the RPi's and go rogue by sticking them to buses, cars and trains et cetera to increase range.

Are there decent wifi communicators on the market? I looked into some Lora projects for this but they never seem to actually ship or get past prorotypes
