I would actually kind of like a product like this, so I'm not trying to be dismissive, but I have some reservations. It will be interesting to see what kind of range will be actually possible. Has an actual prototype been made? Why use shopify and not Kickstarter or IndieGogo? I'm guessing they were rejected from one of those and decided to forge their own way.
PS - two accounts were made just to comment on this post - sarx88 and kaustubhvk, seem to be sockpuppets.
- daniper 12y agoHey I'm Daniela, the cofounder of goTenna. Yes, real prototypes have been made. In fact, the final product is done! That's why we didn't go the crowdfunding route because we're ready to move into manufacturing (and in fact already have). Use our range calculator here (http://bit.ly/1qKVDEQ http://bit.ly/1qKVDEQ) to understand what your range will be in different environments and/or elevations. We've gotten up to 3.5 miles in NYC but more realistically, it's up to a mile in urban areas. Up to 50 in a skiing situation outdoors :D

- newman314 12y agoArticle that I read said that gotenna uses RSA 1024, why not 2048 or longer?
- daniper 12y agoOur first device operates on frequencies that only enable 9600 baud transmissions. So we want everything as tight/small as possible in terms of packet-size so we can have a scalable networking layer
- newman314 12y agoI would think it's better either to have no security and advertise as such or make the encryption of useful length. Doing this way is akin to ddwrt having less than 2048bit ssh keys. Kinda pointless.
