The story

Founded by Alexander Asseily in 1998.1

AliphCom was founded by Alexander Asseily and Hosain Rahman in 1999.

With Lawrence Livermore Labs, Aliph researched noise suppression with grants from the United States Navy and DARPA in 2002. In 2004, Aliph released a noise-cancellation headset, which used military technology to erase background noise. The company's Bluetooth headset, the Jawbone, was released in 2006. Another headset was released in 2008 and 2009.

AliphCom changed its name to Jawbone in 2010.

Wireless speaker Jambox and Fitness tracker UP were introduced in 2011. Headset ERA was released in January 2014. The company stopped producing its fitness trackers and soon sold all its remaining inventory. The company was liquidated in July 2017. Jawbone's fitness tracker was removed from shops in 2018.

Aliph Brands holds the license to Jawbone products and others.
