All exercise participants were operational within minutes of training. goTenna's integrated spectrum analyzer tool allowed users to observe surrounding communications for optimal connectivity. With each device weighing less than a coconut, participants easily transported the devices through the mountainous and lush terrain.
As part of the exercise, four goTenna Pro X2 and 10 goTenna Pro X units were deployed into the field at strategic locations to optimize coverage. Participants could physically track one another on a map regardless of the distance. Both devices were on the ground - one placed in downtown Waikiki and the other on Mount Ka'ala.
"Establishing communications in island and coastal environments is critical to protecting US warfighters conducting maritime operations, search and rescue operations, and more." said Ari Schuler, goTenna CEO. "This field test demonstrates goTenna's applicability in providing communications capabilities in isolated island environments."
This exercise builds on goTenna's historic field test record, including the company's recent data transmission of 126 miles during a point-to-point field test taking place at Tough Stump's Tech Rodeo in Montana last year.
