Comment: This is intriguing ....when your cellphone service  is unavailable.  The portable antenna connects to a smartphone via a Bluetooth Low Energy link.

By Patrick ThibodeauJuly 25, 2014 03:39 PM ET Computerworld - A Brooklyn-based startup called goTenna has created a portable antenna that may just save the day when cellular service is unavailable.
The portable antenna connects to a smartphone via a Bluetooth Low Energy link. Once connected, users with either an iOS or Android app can then send text messages through the antenna. (The recipient must also have a goTenna, and consequently the product is sold in pairs.)

It's cool and very useful when there is no network. The other person also must have a goTenna. So if it's gonna be any useful, it has to become popular. I'll be keeping an eye on it. Thanks for sharing the article Anthony.:)
