Tourmaline Wireless is excited to announce that we are currently in development and Alpha phase testing a SMS Gateway built for goTenna Mesh! We have been working on this project with Richard Myers, Decentralized Application Engineer, from goTenna and Global Mesh Labs since October 2019. Richard originally wrote a post on the goTenna Mesh community forum back in March 2019, describing a rough sketch of how a conceptual gateway could be built utilizing off-the-shelf parts and existing code available in the goTenna SDK. We decided to take on the project late last year and have been working on it in the background for the past 9 months. We are hoping to enter Beta/Friendly-User testing this summer, in late July-August time frame. The first-generation SMS Gateway will include an embedded 4G LTE module and will operate on Twilio's partner cell networks. Future gateways will offer the ability to send messages via the Iridium satellite network and could potentially co-integrate both goTenna Mesh and Pro; as well as, offer the option to use goTenna Pro as a long-range backhaul. Yes, we are pretty excited about this project and can't wait to bring this to you in a finished product format as soon as possible! In the meantime, if you are interested in helping us define the future of this product, please feel free to provide your feedback in the feature survey below. We are also looking to identify 3-5 friendly users that have experience with goTenna products, who would be willing to help test a finished prototype for a few weeks.
