Is goTenna Mesh waterproof for outdoor use?

Durability and Protection

GoTenna Mesh devices are built with a rugged design and are IP65 rated, which means they are protected against dust and can withstand low-pressure jets of water from any direction. This makes them suitable for use in harsh outdoor environments, including rain, snow, and sand. The devices are also sealed with a silicone gasket to prevent moisture from entering the device.

Water Resistance Testing

GoTenna Mesh devices have undergone rigorous testing to ensure they can withstand exposure to water. In testing, the devices were submerged in 3 feet of water for 30 minutes, and were also subjected to a 12-hour rain simulation test. The devices performed flawlessly in both tests, with no loss of signal or functionality.

Using GoTenna Mesh in Wet Conditions

While GoTenna Mesh devices are waterproof, it’s still possible for water to enter the device if it’s exposed to excessive water pressure or if the seal is compromised. To minimize the risk of damage, it’s essential to keep the device away from standing water and to avoid submerging it underwater for extended periods. If the device does get wet, it’s recommended to dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth before reassembling it.
