Altobridge has pioneered the use of personal mobile communications in the aeronautical and maritime spaces applying its core, Split Architecture to both of these ‘final-frontier’ applications.

In the air transport markets, the Altobridge solution was adopted as the enabling technology by in-flight communications leader, Aeromobile, resulting in the world’s first commercial in-flight personal mobile phone service aboard Emirates Airlines in early 2008.

At sea, merchant shipping owners and operators of all kinds can now offer their crews the chance of using their own phones while out in the farthest reaches of the oceans. The Altobridge maritime solution is now available through Blue Ocean Wireless and has been adopted by many shipping organisations and agencies around the world. In its maritime role the technology also offers a means of cost-effective container tracking.
