What altitude control technologies does

Altitude Control Technology (ACT), founded in 1994 and headquartered in Edwards, Colorado, designs, manufactures, and installs normobaric altitude simulation and whole-room oxygenation systems. The company's core technology increases indoor oxygen levels without changing air pressure, simulating lower-altitude conditions to mitigate altitude sickness, improve sleep, and enable hypoxia-based training and research. Its product suite centers on the Altiflo™ whole-room oxygenation system paired with the Altistat touchscreen controller, self-calibrating multi-sensors (oxygen, CO2, air quality, barometric pressure), proprietary air separation technology, and a smartphone app for remote monitoring. Self-calibrating sensors feed real-time data to the controller, which automatically regulates oxygen levels based on occupancy, activity, and environmental inputs.

ACT serves five primary verticals: mountain homeowners seeking relief from altitude-related discomfort, hospitality and resort properties in high-elevation markets (including Telluride), physiological and medical research institutions (Harvard Medical School, Mayo Clinic), sports training facilities including Olympic Training Centers in 14 countries, and aviation/pilot training programs (notably the U.S. Naval Air Systems Command for hypoxic pilot training). The company is the sole source supplier approved by the U.S. Federal Government for altitude simulation applications and claims its systems meet CDC, OSHA, and NFPA safety standards. Revenue derives from hardware sales (oxygenation systems, sensors, controllers, air separation equipment), professional installation services, and room preparation and modification work. ACT distributes through direct field sales for enterprise and government clients, inside sales for mid-market and residential customers, federal contracting, and a builder/architect partnership program for new construction integration. The business is a privately held, founder/management-owned LLC with no disclosed external capital, no funding rounds, and operates from a single Colorado office with a small, specialized workforce.

Core offering

Altitude Control Technology designs, manufactures, and installs whole-room normobaric oxygenation and altitude simulation systems that raise indoor oxygen levels to create sea-level-like conditions at high elevations. The integrated system combines the Altiflo™ oxygenation unit, Altistat touchscreen controller, self-calibrating sensors, and air separation technology, accompanied by professional room preparation and installation services. ACT sells these systems directly to homeowners, hospitality operators, sports training facilities, builders/architects, research institutions, and the U.S. federal government.

Product overview

Altitude Control Technology (ACT) offers a unified altitude simulation system consisting of the Altiflo™ whole-room oxygenation system as the core product, paired with the Altistat touchscreen controller, self-calibrating sensors, air separation technology, and an advanced altitude simulation controller. The system works as an integrated whole-room solution that automatically regulates oxygen levels to simulate lower altitudes, requiring minimal user intervention. ACT engineers developed the first normobaric altitude simulation system in the mid-1990s and has advanced the technology continuously since then, serving homeowners, hospitality, physiological research, sports training, and aviation markets.
