AirHop Communications

AirHop Communications is a self-organizing network solutions for dynamic resource optimization of heterogeneous wireless networks.

Founded in 2007, AirHop provides advanced RAN intelligence critical to the next wave of the Mobile Internet. AirHop eSON products are the first to completely address the installation, operation and performance challenges of multi-layer, small cell deployments. AirHop eSON technology is revolutionary because it solves the RAN gap problem by enabling the deployment of unplanned small cells via not only auto-configuration and maintenance but, more importantly, dynamic optimization while they are in operation. With the use of eSON, networks can achieve the performance required by the 3G or 4G standard without traditional planning or when traditional planning is not viable. In February 2013, AirHop launched vSON, a self-organized network (SON) virtualization software platform that gives operators a key simulation tool for heterogeneous network (HetNet) planning & deployment. AirHop is privately-held and based in San Diego, CA.
