What Nextivity does

Nextivity is a San Diego-based telecommunications company founded in 2006 that develops and manufactures intelligent cellular coverage, public safety communications, and private networking solutions for enterprise and public sector customers. The company serves organizations across manufacturing, healthcare, education (K-12 and higher education), retail and grocery, hospitality, data centers, office and commercial real estate, vehicles, and public safety/first responders through a portfolio of in-building distributed antenna systems (DAS), signal boosters, high-power user equipment (HPUE), and managed edge services. Products are deployed by customers such as Roush Yates Engines, UTMB, Broward County Convention Center, a Southern U.S. grocery chain, an Arizona EV manufacturer, and a top-selling beverage company across facilities ranging from tens of thousands to over one million square feet.

The company's technology foundation is IntelliBoost, a proprietary fourth-generation signal processing chip designed and manufactured in-house, delivering up to 100 dB system gain with channelized echo cancellation, noise elimination, and automatic signal optimization. The hardware portfolio spans the CEL-FI QUATRA enterprise DAS family (4000c, 4000e, 100M, EVO), the CEL-FI GO consumer and SMB booster series (G51, G43, G41), SHIELD SOLO and EXTEND public safety ERCES/BDA products, the MegaFi 2 Global HPUE device, and SMART SERVER ANTENNAS with embedded BLE/Zigbee IoT sensing. The WAVE Connected Technologies ecosystem layers a cloud-based management portal, mobile apps, the COMPASS XR site survey tool, and managed edge services including private 5G NaaS, panic button, call/alert button, and gunshot detection services onto the installed base. SHIELD products are certified to UL2524, FCC Part 90, NFPA 1221/1225, IFC 510, ISED, and Intertek standards, and all active products are TAA and FAA compliant.

Nextivity operates a channel-led go-to-market, selling enterprise hardware through authorized distribution partners, certified DAS installers, and system integrators across more than 100 countries, with consumer products distributed via Amazon and authorized resellers. Enterprise pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company states that 200+ mobile network operators across 100+ countries have approved its products for use on their networks, providing a global trust and regulatory baseline. While hardware remains the dominant revenue stream, the company is building a recurring service layer through panic button subscriptions, alert button services, and private 5G NaaS, all of which run on the same deployed DAS infrastructure.
