Federated Wireless raises $13.7m to accelerate deployment of Connectivity-as-a-Service

 

Allied Minds plc (LSE: ALM, "the Group"), the IP commercialisation company focused on early stage technology businesses, announces that its portfolio company Federated Wireless ("Federated"), a pioneer in Citizen Band Radio Service (CBRS), today secured $13.7 million in additional Series C funding.

 

Allied Minds committed $6.85 million to the round. The Group invested alongside existing investor Pennant Investors who committed the same amount. Following this investment, Allied Minds' ownership of Federated's issued share capital is 43.11%; 36.61% on a fully-diluted basis.

 

The funding will accelerate the expansion and adoption of Federated's partnerships with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure (Azure) to offer Connectivity-as-a-Service (CaaS) as announced in February. The funding will also enable the expansion into the 6 GHz band for 5G services, introduced in March, providing a new path to 1,000 MHz of spectrum for private wireless networks.

 

Joe Pignato, CEO of Allied Minds, said:

 

"It is only two months since Federated established its partnerships with Microsoft Azure and AWS.

 

"This additional funding will enable Federated to support the rapid deployment of its new Connectivity-as-a-Service offering. It allows US enterprises to order their business connectivity services over private 4G and 5G networks with a single click from AWS or Azure."

 

Iyad Tarazi, President and CEO of Federated Wireless, said:

 

"The rapid adoption and general enthusiasm that we have seen since FCC approval for commercial deployment of CBRS is even greater than we anticipated, and is driving both Federated Wireless and the wireless industry as a whole to new heights.

 

"Our newest developments, CaaS and expanding the Spectrum Controller to 6 GHz, have greatly expanded our footprint and our opportunities, and I would like to thank our investors for continuing to support us as we continue to grow."

A broad range of solutions and partners enable choice with proven reliability. It offers cloud scalability with comprehensive visibility into network performance and usage that allows IT management to set granular network policies while maintaining secure control of networks and data.

The FCC is expected to finalize the rules for 6 GHz shared operation later this month, with a number of countries in the European Union and in Asia expected to follow suit by 2022.
