A targeted technology merger<\/strong>
The merger combines F<\/a>ire<\/a>cell\u2019s<\/a> core network and NMS (Network Management System) with Accelleran<\/a>\u2019s programmable RAN, management and artificial intelligence capabilities within a pre-integrated sovereign private 5G solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A structuring financing round<\/strong>
The transaction is backed by a \u20ac7.9 million funding round. The round brings together Matterwave Ventures, Bpifrance, Qbic and Cogito Capital Partners. The financing supports the company\u2019s industrial and commercial development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An architecture designed for critical-use environments<\/strong>
The platform is aimed at sites where service continuity is essential to operations. Use cases include ports, factories, defence facilities and logistics platforms. Network functions notably include slicing, VoNR and mission-critical communications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pan-European organisation<\/strong>
The merged company will operate under the Firecell name and brand, with Claude Seyrat appointed Chief Executive Officer. It will double its engineering and commercial capacity, with teams in France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany and Poland, as well as deployments in Europe, the United States and Asia. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Firecell and Accelleran have announced the merger of the two companies in order to create a complete private 5G solution for industrial autonomy, critical infrastructure and defence connectivity. The merger combines Firecell\u2019s core network and NMS (network management system) with Accelleran\u2019s programmable radio access, management and artificial intelligence capabilities within a pre-integrated sovereign private 5G solution. The company\u2019s offering is aimed at ports, factories, defence facilities and logistics sites, where connectivity is essential to operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The industrial sector is moving from an equipment monitoring logic to one of fully autonomous operations. Robotic arms, automated guided vehicles, drones and teleoperated machines require deterministic connectivity \u2013 a connection interruption can, for example, lead to production stoppages and safety risks. Private 5G meets this requirement, but its deployment most often currently involves assembling components from multiple suppliers, each with its own update cycles, support terms and integration constraints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
