    The Verizon Mobile Mesh Connectivity solution allows teams to quickly create an ad hoc mesh network or tactical communications. It consists of lightweight, deployable radios that pair with smartphones using Bluetooth® technology. The ruggedized radios come with the native goTenna Pro® app and user-swappable external UHF and VHF antennas, to power 100% off-grid text and GPS location communications between users.

    • End-to-end encryption to maintain privacy
