BridgeComm, Inc. is a global leader in optical wireless communications (OWC) solutions and services. BridgeComm has developed the proprietary Managed Optical Communication Array (MOCA) hardware and software technology. MOCA technology allows for multi-domain capabilities to share large volumes of data and collaborate significantly faster with increased security. BridgeComm's MOCA technology enables a point-to-multipoint (PtMP) laser communications solution with a rapid non-mechanical steerable system that achieves multi-target transmit and receive connections, while significantly reducing the size, weight, and power of traditional tracking OWC terminals. The technology is modular and scalable, allowing for rapid development and implementation of terminals suitable for space, air, land, and sea domains. BridgeComm is growing dramatically, and our mission-driven team is looking for motivated professionals to join our dynamic workplace. Laser optical PtMP systems are the future of fixed and mobile communication networks, join BridgeComm's talented team and become part of the future.
