Recently, goTenna introduced its new EdgeRelay device. This specialized infrastructure support node provides continuous coverage for two separate goTenna mesh networks. It is designed for durability in harsh environments and offers solar power and other external charging capabilities to prolong mission endurance. This enables the extension of the goTenna mobile

Traditional communication methods like radio signals may struggle to penetrate deep underground due to the density of earth, rock, or cement tunnel walls. goTenna’s mesh network technology allows for decentralized communication between devices, which can extend the range and reliability of communication in subterranean environments when each goTenna node is

Earlier this week, it was announced that Mattermost, a leader in secure collaboration for mission-critical work in complex environments, has completed its $1.25 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract. This contract delivers mission-critical ChatOps capabilities for the Air Force Research Laboratory’s (AFRL) Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) and

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

All field operators— military personnel or emergency response workers—need numerous things to accomplish their mission. They require physical access to supplies, the ability to monitor their teammates, and the establishment of a main supply route (MSR). These operators also rely on communication to stay informed during dynamic situations, ask for

As part of the Hot Takes series, we’ll take a highly debated topic and explore the pros and cons of both sides. During each debate, you’ll hear from goTenna experts who offer hands-on experience working with customers and deploying goTenna Pro X2 devices in the field. Leave a comment below,

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

Every year, the Air National Guard holds its Patriot Exercise event. This training exercise brings together personnel from the Air National Guard, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and multiple local, state, and federal partners for a series of simulated scenarios designed to test their ability

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. Yet, how

goTenna recently conducted another test of its goTenna Pro X2 mobile mesh networking solution in a rural and remote part of Arizona. Terrain features included arid desert, mountainous plateaus, and dense pine forests. In their demonstration, the goTenna team pushed the boundaries of mobile mesh networking connectivity by showcasing the
