What about if there is no one else using Sonnet around me ? It doesn't work ? And can I use my own apps to communicate or do I have to use the Sonnet app ?

A CB network for 2017.
Really useful for missionaries in the middle of no where.
Thank you.
Also how can this be used to track people not wanting to be found?...

How is the different than Beartooth or GoTenna? Seem to have less capabilities that Beartooth which has already launched.

If the only point of this is to be able to communicate with other users who have the same device and are in a 5Km range... I don't really see any point to it, unless you are doing some kind of organised outdoors activity with a big group of people.

Send text messages, voice recordings, images, and GPS locations on your phone without cellular coverage, satellite, or Internet access.
I love the idea of a very local network where everyone with one extends and doesn't require cell. It makes me want to pin one to my four daughters and their friends, ditch Snap.

Great idea - could see this being incredibly useful for hikers / backpackers in remote areas. Their campaign says they will eventually enable tethering via a firmware upgrade (allowing the device to be used as a modem). At that time, the only thing holding this back will be lack of saturation of devices.
