Last month, goTenna and EVERYWHERE Communications announced a partnership that would integrate their solutions to enable assured access to situational awareness data from mobile mesh networks and the Iridium Satellite network to any location on Earth.  The combined EVERYWHERE and goTenna solution will leverage two best-in-class technologies to connect tactical

Every second counts when a warfighter is injured on the battlefield. Shortening the time from the point of injury (POI) to the point of treatment (POT) can increase survivability for the warfighter, but how can military decision-makers immediately know a soldier is injured and deploy medical intervention in a more

As a Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC), total situational awareness is necessary to employ precision munitions and prevent fratricide. Many times, there may not be a JTAC with each friendly element on the battlefield, meaning the JTAC must rely on observers situated in other locations to relay targeting data. This

Effective communication and coordination can be the difference between success and failure in law enforcement missions, particularly in tactical operations such as fugitive apprehensions or busting criminal rings. In recent years, the integration of mobile mesh networking technology has revolutionized the ability of law enforcement agencies to maintain full situational

Seamless communication and situational awareness are crucial for military, law enforcement, and emergency response operations. They enable decision-making, increase survivability, and improve operational efficiency. However, for communications and situational awareness tools to be effective in these scenarios, they need to be interoperable and enable disparate organizations—many of which often come

Harnessing the power of the Team Awareness Kit for Android (ATAK) is now more accessible than ever, serving over 40,000 Department of Defense (DoD) users and 32,000 nonfederal users.  Offering cutting-edge situational awareness and field operation management tools, ATAK caters to both large-scale agencies and smaller entities alike.

With hundreds of pounds strapped to their backs, one hundred mile winds tossing them around mid-air, and the thick blanket of night impeding their view, military freefall operators have less than a minute to act. In those few seconds, any decision they make could result in the success or failure

In an era of increasing reliance on interconnected critical infrastructure systems, safeguarding power grids, gas pipelines, and transportation networks has never been more vital. These systems are often vulnerable to malware and other malicious hacking methods.  Most recently, Dutch researchers from cybersecurity firm Midnight Blue have identified vulnerabilities in the

The conflict in Ukraine has highlighted the power and recent utilization uptick of drones on the battlefield. Ukrainian forces have used small commercial drones to deter invasion attempts by the Russians. These off-the-shelf drones provide Ukrainian troops with vital intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. The U.S. military has taken
