AccelerComm raises £5.8m in Series A funding led by IQ Capital to scale its wireless technology.
The University of Southampton spinout secured Series A backing from IQ Capital, Bloc Ventures, and the IP Group to scale its operations.
AccelerComm develops intellectual property designed to optimise 5G radio access network performance. Its technology addresses transmission errors and enhances efficiency for terrestrial and satellite communications.
AccelerComm has raised £5.8m in Series A funding led by IQ Capital, with participation from existing backers Bloc Ventures and the IP Group. The capital will support team expansion, global market reach, and further technological development as commercial demand increases across the telecoms sector.
The company provides channel coding intellectual property designed to mitigate transmission errors caused by signal interference and noise. This technology addresses persistent latency issues in mobile and satellite networks, supporting modern use cases such as industrial automation and virtual reality.
From the founder
"From gaming and VR to automated robotic manufacturing lines and telemedicine, the use cases on the road to 5G appear almost limitless. But a critical roadblock remains – latency. For more than 15 years a research team led by Prof. Maunder, first at the University of Southampton and now at AccelerComm, has been working to solve the challenge to deliver on the 5G promise of a low latency, high throughput experience. We are delighted to have closed our Series A funding round, which will help us further develop and deploy our already market leading technology to help improve the efficiency of networks for many years to come."

Investor perspective
"We are very excited that we have been able to partner with AccelerComm in this round of funding. Squeezing ever more data into limited radio spectrum at faster and faster speeds is a huge challenge facing the telecoms industry. Improving the efficiency and reliability of data transfer has become critical to many industries – not just in cellular networks and IoT but also satellites, drones, fixed wireless internet and anything else that uses radio waves. AccelerComm’s track record of selling to globally very sophisticated blue-chip customers and deep IP are very impressive. The amazing founding team combining cutting edge academic and industry knowledge with ex ARM DNA gives AccelerComm incredible growth potential."
