Altobridge – Cutting the Cost of Communications
Altobridge is a leading provider of telecommunications solutions that cut the cost of communications to, from and between wireless devices.
Having established itself as a world leader in the development of mobile communications over satellite for the aeronautical and maritime industries, Altobridge has addressed the provision of wireless services to communities in the most hard-to-reach areas of the globe. Focussing on the use of legacy satellite technology for backhaul, Altobridge’s unique patented technology is behind the world's first commercial flight offering GSM services to passengers via AeroMobile, with Emirates being the first airline to launch the service.
That same technology made GSM on merchant ships with as few as 21 crew members a commercially compelling opportunity for Blue Ocean Wireless, with the key to success in both those cases being the ability to minimise backhaul bandwidth utilisation, and therefore also minimising the cost.
And now, the very same technology is being used, together with Altobridge’s latest technological innovation in Local Connectivity, to make the delivery of mobile communications to small, remote communities a compelling proposition for MNOs. However, whether for remote regions or the optimisation of newly designed IP core networks, a Local Connectivity capability will benefit all MNOs, especially those with satellite or expensive E1/T1 links.
Following several years of focused, pioneering R&D, Altobridge has made two major award-winning technological breakthroughs in the wireless infrastructure field;
These solutions have been successfully tested and deployed in wireless telecommunications networks in the following markets: Remote Community/Enterprise, Aeronautical, Maritime and Secure and Emergency / First Responder.
Altobridge licenses its software to leading operators and vendors and can provide fully managed services to mobile operators.
Founded in 2002, Altobridge is headquartered in Kerry Technology Park, Ireland, and has regional offices in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia, USA and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Altobridge is also a valued Associate Member of the GSM Association.
