goTenna
goTenna develops mobile mesh networking radios and software that enable off-grid, decentralized communications without reliance on cellular, satellite, or Wi-Fi infrastructure. The company's Pro-series devices (including the Pro X and Pro X2m) target U.S. military, public safety, and first responder customers operating in disconnected, denied, intermittent, or limited-bandwidth (DDIL) environments. In October 2025, goTenna was acquired by Forterra, a developer of autonomous mission systems, to integrate goTenna's low-electromagnetic-signature tactical communications into Forterra's autonomous platforms.
