Wireless Broadband Firms Curvalux UK and CBNG Have Merged

Two of the UK’s most prominent developers of cutting edge fixed wireless access (FWA) and mobile broadband equipment – Curvalux and the Cambridge Broadband Networks Group (CBNG) – have today completed a merger. The two companies will remain independent, with CBNG becoming a subsidiary of Curvalux.

CBNG is a familiar name and has been supplying ISPs and network operators with mmWave point-to-multi-point (PTMP) wireless products for more than 20 years. Similarly, Curvalux has recently been making waves with their new patented antenna design, which is designed to deliver ultrafast broadband speeds over a long range and with low power consumption (here); ideal for remote rural connectivity.

The hope is that the complementary strengths of both companies will combine to help them serve the “ever-increasing” global demand for high-speed Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) networks.

Mark Hanman, CBNG’s VP R&D and Operations, said:

“Curvalux really captured our attention with its pioneering new phased array technology, and we became rapidly aware of a potentially unique synergy between our two companies – it felt like we spoke the same language. Combining the two companies’ complementary portfolios and roadmaps will dramatically multiply the overall value proposition for telco carriers and WISPs and allow for a highly comprehensive level of choice of the best technical solution for every kind of FWA scenario.”

Richard Pak, CEO of the Curvalux Group, said:

“We are beyond excited to merge with a best-of-class company like CBNG and realise our shared vision to jointly develop revolutionary products, leveraging CBNG’s extensive experience and our patented, innovative technologies.

With this merger, I believe we have found a perfect marriage of industry know-how and disruptive innovation. We will work tirelessly together to transform the wireless market with sustainable technologies that extend fast, reliable and low-cost connectivity to all communities around the world, connecting the neglected and unconnected, while promoting sustainable and fair economic growth.”
