Strategic investment underscores growing momentum behind AI-driven telecom infrastructure intelligence and data monetization
Delaware — April 30, 2026 — Albireo AI, LLC today announced a strategic investment from Brad Horwitz, a Wireless Hall of Fame inductee and one of the telecom industry’s most respected leaders. The investment signals growing momentum behind the use of Applied AI to transform telecom infrastructure data into trusted, decision-ready intelligence.
While the terms of the investment were not disclosed, Horwitz’s involvement reflects a broader shift in telecom: from data chaos to data monetization, where trusted, decision-ready infrastructure data becomes a catalyst for faster decisions, new revenue opportunities, and greater asset value.
“We are creating a new category in telecom: Trusted Data Intelligence,” said Leticia Latino-van Splunteren, Co-Founder and CEO of Albireo AI. “With Albie, the first telecom-specific AI Agent, users can access that intelligence through natural-language questions and trusted answers. Brad’s investment is especially meaningful because he has helped define multiple chapters of the wireless industry. His belief in Albireo is a powerful validation of the category we are creating, the problem we are solving, and the opportunity ahead.”
“I invested in Albireo AI because I have spent my career building and operating networks around the world, and I can see the practical impact Albie will have,” said Brad Horwitz. “Telecom has struggled with unreliable infrastructure data for decades. As AI hype accelerates, the industry cannot afford solutions built on weak data foundations or disconnected from operational reality. Albireo is focused on the substance behind the technology and with solutions already being delivered, customers engaged, and real demand emerging, the opportunity became even more compelling.”
The announcement comes as Albireo AI prepares to showcase its platform at Connect (X) happening May 4-6 in Fort Lauderdale, FL, where the company will demonstrate how Applied AI is enabling telecom stakeholders to accelerate infrastructure data monetization and transition toward intelligence-driven operations.
