The Wall Street Journal Recognizes Altobridge as Wireless Technology Innovator 2011Oct 27, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Altobridge, providers of technology that cuts the cost of delivering voice and mobile broadband services across wireless networks, has been named the winner of the Wireless Category in the Wall Street Journal Technology Innovation Awards 2011. In its announcement, the Wall Street Journal wrote, "Access to mobile communications is credited with boosting local economies, but almost a quarter of the world's population doesn't have affordable access to wireless voice and data services. Altobridge won this category for developing a low-cost solar-powered wireless system called "lite-site" that aims to tackle three big barriers to extending wireless service to remote areas: high capital costs, high operating costs and high transmission costs. Each base station uses only 90 watts of power, making it possible for stations to operate solely on solar energy. And by compressing data transfers, the system needs only about a quarter of the satellite bandwidth normally required." According to a release, Altobridge wireless network solutions provide a lower capital and lower operating cost option for the delivery of voice and mobile broadband services, enabling mobile network operators to connect unconnected communities and enterprises at minimum cost.
