Israeli start-up Celliboost has developed and begun marketing a secure mobile broadband technology for use in rural and open areas.
The technology is based on a standalone mobile system that uses ordinary mobile infrastructure for fast transmission of large-volume landline-quality high-resolution data, audio, and video communications in a safe way. Celliboost has already got its first customers in Mexico and Chile, and plans to recruit business partners and distributors to expand its presence in other global markets, the Rosh Hayin, Israel-based company said in a statement.
The Celliboost system comes packaged as a portable communication suitcase that uses any available cellular infrastructure to deliver secure, data transfer capabilities for critical missions. It can be used by militaries, security and homeland security organizations, law enforcement, and emergency services, as well as telecommunications companies, such as radio and television stations, the company said.
The platform allows the simultaneous use of up to four mobile channels, independent of the mobile operator, and supports two operating methods. The algorithm-supported system can link to any communications interface, including satellite and ADSL, across all operating characteristics of the broadband channel.
During development, Celliboost’s experts linked four different mobile SIM cards to create a single strong communications system with continuous bonded bandwidth. The platform can combine 3G, 4G, and LTE technologies with interfaces such as VSAT, WAN, and Wi-Fi., the company said.
Celliboost was founded in late 2015 by Alon Dayan, who is the company’s chief executive officer. Dayan, a communications engineer by training, previously served as a marketing manager at Elbit Systems Land and C4I in Mexico and Central America. The development of Celliboost’s system was led by Ronen Angel, who is the CTO of the company.
“The communications world is moving forward, providing faster communications speeds, but demand from consumers is always higher than what the technology offers,” Dayan said. “Consumers want to send more data files faster and get a continuous communications experience when they send HD-quality video, messages, status updates, and location and other data. Celliboost’s vision is to use innovative technology to close the gap between supply and demand in communications.”
