The goTenna allows you to use your mobile phone in 1-on-1 private encrypted conversations or texts in a group chat with other goTenna users.

It doesn’t matter what carrier you are or even if there’s no power, the goTenna can still function smoothly since all the information is sent via VHF radio waves. This also completely removes carrier costs! The goTenna, combined with its smartphone application also features free offline maps and you can share your location, as well as text, with other users.

The goTenna is powered by a Lithium-ion battery that can be used continuously for 24 hours before needing to recharge and recharging it is made super easy via the USB cable. If you were concerned with it getting damaged, there’s no need to fret since this little device is completely weatherproof and can be used in the harshest of conditions.
