Prodea Systems was founded by Anousheh, Hamid and Amir Ansari and incorporated in May 2006; however, our solution, technology, and intellectual property incubated for the three years prior. We officially launched our company on September 18, 2006, the historic day Anousheh Ansari launched into space onboard a Russia Soyuz spacecraft. Prodea Systems is headquartered in Dallas with additional offices in Denver, Washington D.C. and Chennai, India.
About the AnsarisAnousheh, Hamid, and Amir Ansari are inventors and proven entrepreneurs with a history of building companies based on industry-changing technologies. They launched several ingenious carrier-grade products through their company, Telecom Technologies, Inc., which successfully merged with Sonus Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: SONS) in 2001.
The Ansari’s family commitment to enabling fundamental change extends beyond the business sphere to include significant social and scientific undertakings. Prodea Systems’ CEO and co-founder, Anousheh Ansari (www.anoushehansari.com) is known around the world for her historic journey into space as the world’s first female private space explorer when she traveled on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft to the International Space Station in September 2006. In addition, the Ansari family launched a bold new era of non-governmental manned spacecraft by providing the title sponsorship for the Ansari X Prize, a $10 million cash prize awarded in 2004 for the first successful private flight into space. With the success of the X Prize competition, the Ansari’s helped launch a new era in private spaceflight.
Prodea Systems is the next step in the Ansari’s commitment to breaking down
barriers and bringing about radical change in the world.
