MobileAccess Networks Secures $10M for Converged Wireless Networking

MobileAccess Networks, a start-up based in Vienna, Virginia, raised $10 million in venture funding for its work in converged wireless enterprise networking. The company's products leverage patented techniques for the transmission of Radio Frequency (RF) signals over optical fibers. The MobileAccess product line includes a modular, chassis-based solution that supports multiple wireless data and voice services within the same building or campus on a single broadband infrastructure. The MobileAccess infrastructure simultaneously supports multiple wireless services including public safety, cellular, paging, PCS and WLAN. For instance, The American Red Cross has deployed the platform at its headquarters in Washington D.C. in order to extend cellular, paging and PCS services for three major wireless service providers throughout the facility. Additional wireless services could also be supported.


HarbourVest Partners, LLC and Pitango Venture Capital co-led this financing round. Also invested in this round are Poalim Ventures and current investors.
