Range Networks, the worldwide leader in software-based mobile communications, is driven by a simple mission: to bring mobile communications to the entire world. More than two billion people lack access to reliable, affordable, mobile phones, particularly in developing countries. Studies have shown repeatedly that mobile service drives GDP and per-capita income growth. Among the benefits, expanding a country’s mobile network creates jobs, expands commerce, and provides millions with access to electronic banking. It has also been shown to improve health care and increase access to education. As a major cloud-computing company recently announced: “Anywhere you have a phone and a tablet [computer], you can now have access to the world banking community.” Range Networks makes mobile service available and affordable to anyone, anywhere around the world. Today, the 25% of the world who don’t have access to mobile technology no longer need to go without. Although most people can own a mobile phone, the large custom equipment suppliers do not pursue the remote and smaller market segments because the cost of their custom hardware forces them to charge a price the local residents can’t afford. If they charge a lower price, they can’t meet their profit goals. As a result, they focus their efforts on providing the newest service to high-density population centers: the major cities around the world. Range Networks fundamentally changes this equation. Range software uses inexpensive, off-the-shelf hardware to build a full-featured profitable mobile network, while charging a price that almost any customer can afford. Our global ecosystem of partners sell, install and support our low-cost, mobile networks. Range is linking mobile networks around the world, with proven results in Mexico, Latin America, Indonesia, Asia, Europe and Africa.
