Ram Mobile Data was originally founded by Ram Broadcasting Corporation as American Mobile Data Communications, Inc. in 1988. The name of the company was changed to Ram Mobile Data in 1989. RAM Mobile Data was the U.S. Operator of the Mobitex network.
Ram Mobile Data was sold and renamed BellSouth Wireless Data in 1995 and later became Cingular Interactive when BellSouth and SBC Communications formed Cingular Wireless. The Mobitex division within Cingular Wireless was sold to an investment company in 2005 and became Velocita Wireless. Velocita Wireless was purchased by Sprint Nextel and became a Sprint Nextel Company in early 2006. Today Ram Mobile Data is the exclusive operator of Mobitex in the Netherlands. With headquarters in Maarssen (NL) and a daughter in Bruxelles (BE) they are running the entire Mobitex operations throughout the BeNeLux.
