Established in 1991, Brand Communications has achieved global recognition as a major manufacturer of remote access and mobile data solutions for consumers, SME’s and large corporates.

In addition Brand delivers unique value-added services to GSM and PTT operators world-wide.

Brand’s Apollo solution has helped significantly grow the number of active mobile data users world-wide and has delivered tangible paybacks to many networks and their users. Apollo delivers feature rich benefits in many data areas such as GSM, WAP, HSCSD, GPRS and 3G UMTS networks.

Today’s data services are slow, unreliable, complex and expensive. Apollo has overcome all of those by turning mobile data into an easy-to-use, off-the-shelf, enjoyable and 100% dependable solution, including:

• True compatibility with all applications, phones and networks
• Session Management ( spoofing ) – dropping the call when no data is being sent, but maintaining the user’s session
• Built-in compression and security
• Call recovery – Data calls can fail, but Apollo picks up and carries on with no loss of data or session

The Apollo GSM LAN solution was launched in 1997 and has become the winner of numerous awards. The Apollo Access Server (the infrastructure hardware element) was winner of ‘Best Product of Networks Telecom’, whilst the Apollo Emulator (the client software) was ‘Networks Telecom Mobile Product of the Year’. One judge summed it up as ‘pure innovation with a difference – it really works today and delivers real tangible benefits’.
