Driven by Real Experience, Engineered for Absolute Safety
Xplora was founded by Sten Kirkbak after a harrowing real-life incident in Oslo, when his four-year-old son momentarily wandered off in a crowded shopping center. Those 30 agonizing minutes spent searching led Sten—a telecom and technology veteran—to realize that parents lacked a dedicated, safe communication tool designed specifically for young children.
Smartphones expose children to open internet risks, cyberbullying, social media addiction, and screen overload. Basic feature phones fail to offer precision GPS tracking or parent-managed security. Xplora was built to bridge this gap: providing standalone cellular calling, real-time GPS location tracking, and SOS protection—without any open internet browsing, app store distractions, or social media access.
"We believe physical activity and genuine interaction between children and families have the power to change the world for the better."
— Sten Kirkbak, Founder & CEO of Xplora
