GoTenna new Smart Phone Product

GoTenna  a new product, about to be released

1.     each person going out in the wilderness carries a stick device about the size of flat carpenters pencil

2.     these “sticks” connect with your smart phones via BlueTooth

3.     the “stick” has a long range radio signal that then connects you with other “sticks” …   so, while you can’t communicate with the broader world, but you can connect with your fellow hikers or adventure friends in the same wilderness (who have sticks).  Range:  About 50 miles in ideal conditions, doesn’t work if you are behind a rock or a mountain from the fellow hiker.

4.     bonus idea, works in foreign countries where you don’t have access to the cell signals --  lets you stay in touch with your friends if you get separated by accident or something

5.     works when all cell towers are out – like in tornado emergencies or whatever

Pre orders now accepted $150 per “stick”….

Nice video --- shows how easy this might be -- just hook it on your back pack, and suddenly your smart phone (in your pocket?) is now connected with your other hiking friends.  Pretty clever.  You can send text messages via the sticks and yet it seems as if you are just using your smart phone in the normal way.
