ASK AN ENGINEER – Special guests – goTenna Daniela Perdomo & Raphael Abrams 8PM ET 9/10
ASK AN ENGINEER – Special guests – goTenna’s Daniela Perdomo co-founder & Raphael Abrams hardware engineer!
goTenna enables you to communicate without any need for central connectivity whatsoever—no cell towers, no wifi, no satellites—so when you’re off-grid you can remain connected. In fact, goTenna will even work if your smartphone is in “Airplane Mode”!
Pair your smartphone to your goTenna device wirelessly, using Bluetooth-LE. Your goTenna needs to be within 20 feet of your phone, so that the two can communicate with each other. Use our free app to type out a text message or share a location. Your smartphone will send the message to your goTenna, which will then shoot it out, via long-range radio waves (151-154 MHz), to the intended goTenna(s).
