In sunny Tampa, Florida, goTenna is making waves at the annual SOF Week show with their cutting-edge mesh networking technology.

According to Ari Schuler, CEO of goTenna, and Chris Boyd, the company’s head of product, this technology is a game-changer for creating robust networks in remote environments where traditional infrastructure is lacking. What sets goTenna apart is its focus on providing low-cost, high-performance, and scalable solutions, offering a superior alternative to other mesh networks.
Highlighting their commitment to meeting the needs of special operations forces and other demanding applications, goTenna also showcased their low SWaP radios. These specialized radios are tailored precisely to the requirements of elite military units, law enforcement agencies, and disaster response teams.
With a keen eye on security, Boyd emphasized the importance of encryption and identity management in goTenna’s mesh network. Ensuring the utmost protection for sensitive communications is a top priority for the company.
