goTenna, the world’s leading mobile mesh networking company, has officially announced a partnership with EVERYWHERE Communications, a partnership which will transform connectivity for shared situational data, data that happens to be essential for facilitating critical communications in the world’s most austere environments.
According to certain reports, the stated partnership will see goTenna and EVERYWHERE combining their technological prowess to birth what would be a solution capable of providing assured situational awareness data from mobile mesh networks, and that too, from any location on Earth.
More on the same would reveal how this particular development will make it possible for users to access force-tracking, location data, secure messaging, and one-touch SOS functionality, while simultaneously bestowing them with beyond-line-of-site connectivity to ensure mission success.
Now, making this promise all the more important is a fact that both the companies already boast thousands of units operating within defense, intelligence, public safety, and law enforcement agencies throughout the US and abroad. Hence, by creating a join solution, they will bring forth something instantly relevant to customers that leverage the TAK ecosystem for enhanced situational awareness.
Talk about the given collaboration on a deeper level, we begin from how it will leverage EVERYWHERE’s ability to infuse commercial-off-the-shelf inReach Mini2 from Garmin, custom AES-256 encrypted firmware, and its interoperable software for the purpose of connecting and protecting personnel in degraded communications environments. Such a setup, when coupled with goTenna’s Pro X2 lightweight narrowband mesh radio, will tread up a long distance to enable TAK device connectivity and communications reach-back in off-grid environments, thus offering mission-critical communications in austere, highly contested, and denied environments.
“We’re proud to partner with EVERYWHERE Communications, equipping operators with the most advanced, low-cost, size, weight, and power-efficient communication solutions available in our industry,” said Ari Schuler, CEO of goTenna. “EVERYWHERE’s capabilities complement goTenna, and our partnership will enable global shared situational awareness for warfighters, mission operators, and first responders.”
Founded in 2012, goTenna’s rise up the ranks stems from advancing universal access to connectivity by building the world’s most intelligent and scalable mobile mesh networks. Understood to be the world’s leading mobile mesh networking company, its strong suite, at the moment, is to deliver off-grid connectivity solutions for smartphones and other devices and augmenting traditional communications networks. The idea behind doing so is to conceive mobile, long-range connectivity without cellular, Wi-Fi, or satellite connectivity.
goTenna’s excellence in what it does can also be gauged once you take into account how its products are currently used by over 300 law enforcement, military, and public safety agencies worldwide. This includes US Defense Department—including Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), US Army Special Operations Command (USASOC), Naval Special Warfare Command (NSW), Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), US Special Operations Command (SOCOM), among others.
Beyond that, the company also has an esteemed investor pool, which is made up of names like Union Square Ventures, Founders Fund, Lockheed Martin Ventures, Vanedge Capital, ONE9, Moore Capital, and more.
As for EVERYWHERE, it is best known for providing multi-mode cellular and satellite data communications powered by patented technology deployed in mission-critical environments. Already a leading player in the enterprise and government marketplaces, the company’s solutions are presently deployed across 350 organizations operating in 150+ countries around the world.
“EVERYWHERE and goTenna are aligned in our approach to advance global connectivity in mission-critical environments,” said Patrick Shay, Founder and CEO of EVERYWHERE Communications. “Together, goTenna and EVERYWHERE will provide unparalleled global connectivity for those in austere environments. EVERYWHERE will continue to invest in partnerships to connect and protect mission communications.”
