Forterra Completes goTenna Acquisition

Forterra, an autonomous mission systems company, has completed the acquisition of tactical mesh networking technology developer goTenna.

Forterra said Thursday the acquisition is intended to broaden its autonomous mission systems portfolio and boost communications capabilities in contested and disconnected environments.

Integrating Mesh Networking into Mission Systems

The transaction enables Forterra to integrate goTenna’s low-cost, low-bandwidth mesh communications into its autonomous and robotic platforms, addressing the growing defense demand for resilient connectivity at the tactical edge. The combination will support decentralized situational awareness and improved control of autonomous systems.

Advancing Mission Autonomy

The acquisition marks Forterra’s continued evolution from self-driving vehicle systems to fully integrated autonomous mission solutions, expanding its role in building a connected, mission-ready force capable of operating in challenging operational conditions.

Remarks From Forterra & goTenna CEOs

“By integrating goTenna technology into our platform, we’re improving user experience in controlling and interacting with robots in operational environments and eliminating communication concerns, especially in denied environments where traditional systems fall short,” said Josh Araujo, CEO of Forterra.

“This acquisition brings together two mission-driven companies, enabling Forterra’s industry-leading ground autonomy platforms to integrate and deploy goTenna’s best-in-class communications stack,” stated goTenna CEO Ari Schuler, who will assume the role of president.
