An Israeli startup - Celliboost - has solved the problem for emergency forces that need very fast wide band communications systems in the field. They have developed and started marketing a secure mobile broadband technology for rugged terrains. Current solutions are based on satellite communications or microwave and are expensive (equipment, air-time) and in many cases exposed and unsecured.
Celliboost's system 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 all types of terrain and all kinds of mobile coverage from 3G, through GSM, to LTE. The platform allows the simultaneous use of up to four mobile channels, independent of the mobile operator, and supports two operating methods bonding and load balancing. It is suitable for military, security and homeland security organizations, law enforcement, and emergency services, as well as telecommunications companies, such as radio and television stations.
The algorithm-supported system can link to any communications interface, including satellite and ADSL, across all operating characteristics of the broadband channel.
According to Alon Dayan CEO of Celliboost ,while the system was designed to meet the needs of the HLS market, the civil market is much larger and is in need of mobile broadband independent communication solution. To address this market, they plan to re-design the technology and then market it to communications companies, municipalities, banks and hospitals.
