Based in Brooklyn, goTenna is the first and only company to enable anyone to use their phones to communicate at long-range even if there’s no cell, internet or satellite service.
The idea was sparked in late 2012, when Hurricane Sandy took down one-third of cell towers and power stations in a 10-state area. Daniela and J Perdomo decided to create resilient, scalable, and affordable bottom-up connectivity independent of top-down centralized infrastructure. goTenna was officially incorporated in early 2013, after completing the first working prototypes.
