Airties has appointed Deepak Harie as chief revenue officer, tasking the former Nokia senior executive with overseeing global sales and business development as the company targets continued growth in broadband service provider deployments.
The company said Harie will report to Metin Taskin and focus on expanding commercial relationships with internet service providers that use Airties’ software to optimize subscribers’ broadband and Wi-Fi experiences, including performance improvements, churn reduction, and cost-efficiency gains.
Harie joins Airties after nearly 25 years at Nokia, where he held multiple senior leadership roles. Most recently, he served as senior vice president of technical support and deploy services. Earlier positions included vice president of cloud and SI services, vice president of systems integration, and account director for the UK and Ireland.
Airties said its hardware-agnostic software suite, including Airties Home, Airties Pro, and Airties Multi, helps direct consumer devices to the best available Wi-Fi access point and frequency band based on real-time conditions, manages mesh networking, and optimizes quality of service. The platform is also positioned to help operators observe, diagnose, and address connectivity issues automatically or through recommendations, while providing dashboards and APIs intended to integrate with CRM systems and customer-facing support tools.
The company also highlighted industry recognition for its products, citing awards from Broadband World Forum, Wi-Fi NOW, Wireless Broadband Alliance, and Cable & Satellite International. Airties said its customer base includes major service providers such as AT&T, Cox, Deutsche Telekom, Telia, Telstra, T-Mobile US, and Vodafone.
