COMPANY

Funambol provides white-label cloud solutions to mobile operators and other service providers. The company's solutions are deployed in 50 countries for hundreds of millions of people.

Funambol operates in the cloud services market, where Over‑The‑Top (OTT) consumer platforms such as Apple iCloud, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and Dropbox dominate. Unlike these solutions, Funambol’s OneMediaHub stands out as a feature‑rich, flexible, white‑label personal cloud designed to be branded and tailored to each service provider’s needs. The platform is digital‑life centric and can be deployed either on‑premises or in a hosted third‑party cloud environment.

The name Funambol comes from the Italian word funambolo, meaning “tightrope walker.” This symbol reflects the company’s confidence and persistence in overcoming complex technical and competitive challenges. Backed by a management team with deep expertise in the mobile cloud sector, Funambol has earned multiple industry awards recognizing its innovation and technical excellence:
