Hi there. Radin from Singapore here.Got my goTenna Mesh a week ago and still trying them out.
So anyone from Singapore got them? Lets make a mesh here.
Btw, anyone out there knows how i can increase the signal range? Hope to make a base station out of it. Saw someone in Youtube attached an external antenna from the goTenna mesh.
Welcome to the community. You can read all about increasing the signal range by following this thread MOAN: Mother Of All Nodes. The person on youTube was probably @gua742 , but there are a few other folks on here that have experience with extending the range. Feel free to browse through some of the threads.
Welcome @R-Man! You must have a US, Canada or Mexico shipping address as we haven’t started directly shipping to Singapore yet (official certification is coming in late Nov.), but your area looks active on imeshyou.com already — either because other Singaporeans who’ve preordered also have forwarding addresses abroad or are just excited and using the map before getting their devices:
Oh ive already got the item(kickstarter backer) by asking them to foward to
my Comgateway US address then ship it to Singapore; as i cant wait to test
them.
The # of orders shipped directly to Singapore (so far) is somewhere between 100-200. The # of units would be at least double the orders, as everyone ordered at least 1 pair (2 units). If Singaporeans are anything like our overall customers, about half likely ordered 3+ units (i.e. 1 pair + 1 single or 1 pair + 1 or more extra pairs).
Given all that, let’s assume 150 direct-to-Singapore orders, where 50% of them were for 2 units and 50% of them were for 4 units. So I’d say a fair guess is we shipped 450 Mesh units direct to Singapore. (This of course won’t count people like @R-Man who got their units via mail-forwarding or bought them abroad.)
