Altobridge Limited has acquired mobile backhaul intellectual property from Replify.
Altobridge has been embedded this functionality into its patent-pending data optimisation platform, Data-at-the-Edge, and includes Byte Level Caching, Predictive Cache Loading, Data Stream de-duplication, Data Compression and Protocol Optimization, along with standard data optimization techniques.
Altobridge Data-at-the-Edge enables data passing between an operator’s core network and its radio access network (RAN) to be identified, managed and optimized at the most granular level, with intelligence to apply the best possible optimization to differing forms of data, e.g. video and email.
The company said its solution delivers mobile data backhaul reductions of over 50% and therefore has profound impact on the costs of delivering mobile broadband via backhaul-constrained cellular base stations. It can be applied to base stations serving remote communities, remote enterprises and macro urban areas in emerging markets and developing nations.
“Altobridge has spent a decade driving down the cost of remote communications access. Over the last three years, we have concentrated on mobile broadband optimization and this turnkey solution enables the world’s mobile network operators to truly bridge the mobile broadband divide,�? said Mike Fitzgerald, Chief Executive, Altobridge.

- In March 2011, Altobridge, a start-up based in Dublin, Ireland, announced US$12 million in funding from Intel Capital and IFC for its low-cost, low-capital, wireless communications solutions designed for rural communities. The Altobridge solution provides wireless access for remote communities, enterprises and schools of the world’s emerging markets. The company claims its “Data-at-the-Edge” reduces mobile network operators’ backhaul requirements by at least 50%.
