About Excelerate
Excelerate has been delivering hybrid connectivity solutions for 20 years across diverse market sectors, including fire, police, ambulance and public services, as well as other sectors including healthcare, energy and utilities, construction, engineering, corporates and private and commercial maritime.
Headquartered in Cardiff, Wales, the company trades as Excelerate Technology and specialises in resilient voice, video and data communications for complex and critical environments, combining and integrating bearers such as satellite, 4G and LTE so that connectivity can seamlessly switch during major incidents and events.
Its technology solutions span command vehicles that attend major incidents and large-scale events such as G7 summits, NATO meetings and the Olympics, where reliable connectivity is essential regardless of network conditions on the ground. The same expertise extends to connected logistics fleets, telemedicine, and the protection of utilities and critical infrastructure, giving its engineers deep experience deploying communications kit fast, in unpredictable conditions, and without a fixed network to rely on.
What Excelerate said
Simon Hill, CTO at Excelerate, said: “At Excelerate, we specialise in delivering resilient and reliable voice and data communications for complex and critical environments. We collaborate with stakeholders across diverse markets and projects to develop and integrate intuitive and simple to operate technology solutions.
When we were looking for a PTX partner, it was obvious to us that Mobile Tornado’s platform stood out from other solutions in the market. We are excited to be able to offer our customers such a superb solution.”
What Mobile Tornado said
Luke Wilkinson, managing director at Mobile Tornado, added: “We are thrilled to have entered into a partnership with Excelerate. They are a world class business with a clear vision to be a trusted provider of connectivity across the world. Like us, they value their customer relationships and are always happy to go that extra mile. We are looking forward to working with them and introducing our world-class technology to their customers.”
Why this partnership matters
Excelerate’s customers span some of the highest-stakes environments in critical communications, including major incident command vehicles and large-scale public events. Bringing Mobile Tornado’s push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) platform into that mix gives its first responder and public safety customers another reliable option for instant voice, video and data communication, on top of the satellite and cellular connectivity Excelerate already provides.
Mobile Tornado’s platform delivers carrier-grade system availability of 99.999% and already supports more than 150,000 users across 30+ countries, making it a natural fit for a partner whose own customers cannot afford communication downtime during major incidents.
Mobile Tornado’s push-to-talk over cellular platform provides instant one-to-one and one-to-many voice communication, GPS location tracking, emergency SOS alerts and multi-media sharing, all managed through a dispatch console that supports up to 64 simultaneous radio sessions. Combined with Excelerate’s hybrid satellite and cellular connectivity, first responders gain a resilient communications layer that keeps working even when a single network type is degraded, congested or unavailable, whether that is a mobile mast knocked out during a storm or a cellular network overloaded by crowds at a major public event.
For Mobile Tornado, the deal is another step in growing its reseller network across the UK and EMEA, adding a partner with two decades of experience serving the exact organisations, emergency services, government bodies and critical infrastructure operators, that rely most heavily on dependable, always-available communications, whether they are coordinating a routine event or responding to a fast-moving major incident.
