Wireless

Visible Wireless Corporate Office

Visible Wireless is the prepaid offshoot of Verizon Wireless. Founded in 2018, the company did some early advertising but has since been quiet about pushing this platform.

Verizon hasn’t said how much money the company put towards this platform, but current CEO Miguel Quiroga said the program had been discussed for several years before its launch.

The company operates a prepaid cell phone and data plan for a flat rate per month. The service uses Verizon’s 4G and 5G networks. The company will mail a SIM card, customers download the app, and the service is connected.

At the moment, the company is best known for great starting rates, such as 3 months of unlimited service for $20 a month in April 2021.

In January 2023, the company announced that it would offer a $ 15-a-month unlimited plan for new customers for their first year of service.

Visible Wireless maintains a corporate office in Greenwood Village, Colorado.

Tello Mobile Corporate Office

Tello was founded in 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia, a subsidiary of KeepCalling.Net, which was founded in 2002 by Florin Miron. The company is an MVNO, which is a wireless company that does not own the wireless network, but contracts with a network, who will provide the equipment for service. This allows companies such as Tello to provide bulk rate prices, resulting in cheaper cell phone bills.

Tello has no monthly fees and no contracts. Calls and texts can be made to other countries. Plans run from as little as $10 a month for 1 GB of data, unlimited texting and unlimited phone minutes. The company uses the Sprint network, which covers nearly the entire United States.

Tello has been featured on numerous sites, including TomsGuide and PCMag.

Company headquarters are located in Atlanta, Georgia.

Xilinx Corporate Office

Xilinx was founded in 1984 by Ross Freeman, Bernard Vonderschmitt, and James V Barnett II. The three founders had worked previously at Zilog Corp, an integrated circuit manufacturer.

The company was founded to design and produce semiconductor circuits for specific markets instead of producing massive volumes of generic circuits as was the norm at that time. This idea presented a lower profit margin and a more complex manufacturing process and failed to attract the funding or interest necessary from traditional semiconductor manufacturers.

Today Xilinx is a top supplier of complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The company contracts with third-party manufacturers to manufacture its products. Customers include companies in the data processing, broadcast, wireless, wired, aerospace, and automotive industries.

Xilinx trades publicly on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol XLNX, is a member of the S&P 500, is #919 in the Fortune 1000, and had $2.38 billion in revenue in 2014.

Trimble Navigation Corporate Office

Trimble Navigation was founded by Charles Trimble and two partners from Hewlett Packard in 1978. Trimble Navigation was the first GPS company to go public in 1990.

Today the company designs, manufactures, and markets systems and software that combine global positioning technology with communications to provide position and location data.

Products are sold to government entities, engineering firms, public safety workers, equipment manufacturers, and farmers through dealers, distributors, and authorized representatives.

Trimble Navigation trades publicly on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol TRMB, is a member of the S&P 400, is #892 in the Fortune 1000, has 8,000 employees, and had $2.40 billion in revenue in 2014.

American Tower Corporation Corporate Office

American Tower Corporation was formed in 1995 as a division of American Radio Systems. The company spun-off that division in 1998 after merging with CBS Corporation.

Today American Tower is a tower management company that operates 27,700 broadcast and wireless communications towers. The company rents space on towers to clients such as AT&T, Sprint Nextel, and Verizon. Other clients include radio and TV broadcasters.
