AXON Networks announced the acquisition of Greenwave Systems, a provider of software-defined mobile network solutions, strengthening the company’s AXON Maestro platform and expanding its expertise in emerging wireless technologies. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Through the acquisition, AXON will integrate Greenwave’s software-defined connectivity and Network-as-a-Service orchestration technology portfolio, formerly known as WAVELY, into the AI-native, cloud-agnostic AXON Maestro platform. The deal also brings a team of operational support system and business support system specialists with experience in mobile network deployments, helping accelerate the development of new OSS service management capabilities.
The combined technologies are intended to support telecom operators, institutions, and enterprise service providers as wireless technologies such as Fixed Wireless Access and Low Earth Orbit satellite networks gain traction. AXON said operators increasingly require real-time orchestration capabilities spanning mobile cores to in-home devices in order to optimize connectivity across fixed and wireless environments.
The acquisition enables AXON to offer a unified architecture built around its real-time Digital Twin technology, providing inventory management capabilities designed to deliver accurate and complete network data while accelerating service deployment.
Greenwave, founded in 2008 by former Cisco executives including current AXON executives, initially focused on managing connected devices at scale and later expanded into smart home, energy management, broadband service assurance, Wi-Fi performance, and network intelligence. Its technologies currently support millions of connected devices.
By incorporating Greenwave’s intellectual property and engineering expertise, AXON said it will further its strategy of delivering AI-native, Digital Twin-driven operations for traditional fixed networks as well as emerging technologies including FWA and LEO satellites. Greenwave technologies will become modules within the AXON Maestro platform, while the acquired engineering team will focus on OSS/BSS product development and support for mobile connectivity.
AXON Networks currently serves more than 30 operators worldwide and manages over 97 million users through its network autonomy, orchestration, security, and analytics platforms.
KEY QUOTES:
“Operators and enterprises building advanced autonomous networks need to address dozens of functions across multiple categories, but are often reluctantly shackled to bespoke operational support systems that require significant customization and ongoing professional services. This limits their agility and effectiveness, delaying innovation and time-to-market for new services By bringing together Greenwave’s expertise and the WAVELY technology portfolio with the AXON Maestro AI-first automation platform, we’re able to provide a simplified, unified, and AI-automated OSS/BSS architecture. Combining these solutions into one platform promises to accelerate operator and enterprise new service time-to-market and improve the subscriber and network operator experience by removing complex dependencies.”
Martin Manniche, CEO And Founder, AXON Networks
“This acquisition brings our platform heritage fully under one roof and allows us to continue moving forward with a clear focus: delivering AI-native, Digital Twin-driven operations for mass market and enterprise networks across both traditional fixed network and emerging technologies such as FWA and LEO satellites. By consolidating intellectual property, engineering expertise, and platform assets that originated at Greenwave and later evolved within AXON into one engineering team, we are formalizing the integration of technologies that have played a foundational role in our evolution while strengthening our unified platform strategy. Greenwave technologies will become modules within the AXON Maestro platform and its engineering team will focus on OSS/BSS product development with the expanded support for mobile connectivity.”
