Pop-up mesh networks

Out and about with no towers or a congested network! 

Get a GoTenna - it allows you to send text messages and share GPS locations on offline maps with others. goTenna Mesh sends messages via a 1-watt UHF radio transmitter. The range is in the order of up to 3 miles (4.8 km) in open terrain, and up to a mile (1.6 km) in congested terrain.

They now have a range of products right up to the Pro  @ $500 with 60 hours battery life. It operates on any frequencies in the 142-175 MHz (VHF) & 445-480 MHz (UHF) ranges. Note some products are quoted for delivery in late August and may not be available in your country.
