Cellwize raises $32M to help carriers and their partners adopt and run 5G services
As 5G slowly moves from being a theoretical to an active part of the coverage map for the mobile industry – if not for consumers themselves – companies that are helping carriers make the migration less painful and less costly are seeing a boost of attention. In the latest development, Cellwize, a startup that’s built a platform to automate and optimize data for carriers to run 5G networks withi
n multi-vendor environments, has raised $32 million – funding that it will use to continue expanding its business into more geographies and investing in R&D to bring more capabilities to its flagship CHIME platform. The funding is notable because of the list of strategic companies doing the investing, as well as because of the amount of traction that Cellwize has had to date.
