Since Altobridge was founded in 2003, it has established itself as the industry leader in the provision of a remote wireless communications technology that drives down the cost of providing wireless service within the aeronautical and maritime market segments. The Altobridge unique technology offering became the solution of choice for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) seeking vertical market opportunities. Reference customers and partners included global leaders such as Telenor, Smart, and NTT Docomo.

For Altobridge, it was a valuable platform upon which it built a reputation for providing a reliable technology that became an industry leader in transmission optimisation. The patented Altobridge technology breakthroughs drove down the underlying cost of providing wireless service to remote subscriber groups. Today, Altobridge is No. 1 within these industries and its technology is live on approximately 750 maritime vessels and commercial aircraft.

These vertical markets provided Altobridge with unparalleled expertise in the unique challenges faced when providing remote wireless communications. In 2007, Altobridge took this expertise and its core technology offering into the mainstream wireless telecommunications market focusing exclusively on providing a “best in class” solution for remote wireless communications to the estimated 1,000,000 remote enterprises and remote communities still cut off from standard communications access. By 2009, Altobridge had established itself in the industry with several live reference customers and had established several important channels with the world’s No. 1 and No. 2 infrastructure suppliers, who licensed key aspects of the Altobridge intellectual property.
