a trip to the wilderness can be a relaxing break to unplug from city lights but it's tricky to stay in touch with other people in your group once the bars drop out at your cellular service so that's where the Goten accessory comes into play it's a small communication device that connects to Android or iOS smartphones via bluetooth and creates a low frequency radio wave network allowing users to send messages and broadcast GPS coordinates to other go tenant carriers and despite the fact that it doesn't provide an actual data plan for web surfing it can still transmit a signal for nine miles and even further depending on the source elevation the company just launched a Kickstarter for the second device to go 10ms which uses mesh networking to share device connections and relay messages to widen coverage areas so here's how the product works before you and a buddy head out off the grid clip the NGO tenant mesh to your bags and download the offline maps to your destination available through the app for iOS and Android once you're out there if you and your buddy wander off and get out of range you can still send a message to each other using the mesh network as long as there are other go tenant users around so the device will automatically crawl the area trying to locate other users with a strong connection it can use to slingshot your message forward like the flagship model the goat Animesh will also show read receipts log and send GPS coordinates and includes a function called shout that lets you transmit information to any go tenant device in range the company is using Kickstarter for initial funding and it also just announced an open SDK for developers so whether you're camping off the grid filling a go-bag for emergency situations or traveling anywhere without a reliable cellular connection you can check out the Kickstarter page and contribute to get your hands on your own Goten of mesh
