goTenna Provides Critical Comms for U.S. Air Force
BROOKLYN, NY (February 7th, 2023) — goTenna, a Marque Ventures portfolio company and the world’s leading mobile mesh networking platform, secured a Small Business Innovation Research contract award for Decoupled Network Operations Platform (DNOP) for Secure Decentralized Mesh Communications.
“goTenna excels in environments where the combination of critical communication and a low RF footprint can make the difference between mission success and mission failure,” said Ari Schuler, goTenna CEO. "Our DNOP capability will optimize battlefield mesh network performance and tactics to counter both man-made and natural RF impediments.”
This contract award will allow goTenna radios and smartphones to collect mesh networking insights with the eventual goal of transforming every radio in the goTenna mesh network into a distributed radio frequency (RF) sensor. goTenna has future plans for follow-on work to allow other radio types, and their frequency ranges, to integrate with DNOP’s core model and design, giving warfighters a more comprehensive system.
