CAPE opens $ 99 a month

Mobile networks are still a major target for cybersecurity violations and Chinese piracy group Hurricane saltContinuous attacks on multiple transport companies are only the latest known examples.

Starting Mobile Carrier Cape It follows a new approach to addressing the problem: it has been built a service that it can provide a safer and more special alternative because it does not collect any data on you at all – even its location on its website on the cookie. Today, Cape announces some great developments in her efforts.

Washington, the capital, which is based in the capital-which was founded by a former Palantir National Security Company, which previously worked in the US Army Special Forces-is releasing an open experimental version for MVNO mobile service, which comes in the form of a 99-month subscription plan per month. I have signed a partnership with Proton- Email services provider, VPN and Cloud Services; It raised $ 30 million in stock and debt financing.

The amount of $ 30 million has been divided, with $ 15 million in stocks to the B series B from A*, Costanoa, Point72, Xyz Ventures. Another $ 15 million comes in the form of a debt facility from Silicon Valley Bank. This brings the shares of the series B to $ 55 million, with the announcement of the original $ 40 million in April 2024 Under the leadership of Andrink Horwitz.

CAPE does not reveal the evaluation, but it is worth noting that funding will come at a time when the focus is increased on startups, defense and security at a time when geopolitics shift.

While many of these transformations play at a higher level of wars, spying against officers and officials, and the main communications between huge industrial entities, Cape products and their growth are one of the rare examples of how some of this development is running at the consumer level.

This does not mean that all CAPE products are intended for ordinary people. The new plan comes in the aftermath of the company last year, it came out of the ghost with $ 61 million in financingThe launch of a phone worth $ 1500 is called MysteriousWhich was explicitly designed for the military, governmental people and others like them: “Those who face high threats,” the company said. Then in January 2025, Cape took her first step to launch a service for consumers. All open openings in that closed experimental version are filled in four hours.

CEO John Doyle, who participated in the establishment of the company with Nicholas Espinoza (who is the head of research and development), said that the fast pace for subscription Open Beta.

In addition to a commitment Not to track or sell data, the plan includes an unlimited audio, texts and data (but there is no sound on WiFi yet, as Doyle said; this is still coming), as well as an encrypted audio mail.

As part of its plan, CAPE also provides protection against two other emerging cells. The first is protection from SIM switching, using encryption protection to prevent someone from kidnapping your number.

He presents what he describes as “advanced signal protection” – which indicates side canal attacks via Telephony Signallly protocol Signal System 7. The SS7 tracking was a known problem for years, but in December 2024 It was highlighted by the United States government as a specific issue of calls, texts and sensitive data, which said it can be accessed by military spies and other employees who use the protocol.

Doyle added that the general availability of his phone plan will come later this year. There are currently less than 1000 users in the closed experimental version, and two vague phone owners.

CAPE service is installed on the cell, and the plan is to provide roaming services to its users to extend it to other countries, as well as provide MNVO plans in other countries.

Europe has proven to be a large market for the first services, as well as those that provide alternatives to engaging with large technology. This leads to applications such as Climbing the signal to the top of the application stores In at least one European market. It can be an interesting market to start running like Cape.

Cape tends to this European tendency to privacy in another way in the meantime. Just as the prevailing transport companies want to link marketing partnerships with loud consumer services to pay more contributions-one example on that T-MBile Partnership with Perfume For the “Artificial Intelligence Phone”-Cape does the same with the first companies that think about thinking. First Out the Door is a deal with a Swiss -based Proton to pay registration operations to the recent (paid) company offers. Those who register on Cape $ 99 per month can pay one dollar to add it to six months of Proton is unlimited The plan, which includes storing encrypted cloud, VPN, expanded safe email and more.

“We conducted a really strict investigating study in this field and we determine that we believe that Proton is the clear pioneer in terms of credibility, the progress of their technology and the way they approach (privacy) problems.” The show was described as “the first version” of a partnership between the two companies.
