SpiderCloud Wireless

What SpiderCloud Wireless does

SpiderCloud Wireless, founded in 2007 and headquartered in San Jose, California, develops small cell multi-access systems that enable mobile operators to deliver in-building wireless coverage and cloud-managed connectivity services. The company was acquired by Airspan Networks in 2017 and now operates as a technology pillar within Airspan's broader Open RAN and wireless infrastructure portfolio. Its offerings span the AirVelocity small cell family, the MobileAccess 6000 and 6200 Digital Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) for venues and mid-sized buildings, the AiRU macro radio covering sub-6 GHz and mmWave spectrum with a split architecture and Open Interfaces, and the Open RAN Radio Units (Air5G 7200/9200) supporting operator-driven vendor diversity. Adjacent offerings include the Private Networks Solution, the Air-to-Ground (ATG) connectivity product for aviation, and the 5G In-Motion Platform extended to defense MANET, high-altitude platforms, and drones.

Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of small cells, DAS, Open RAN radios, and macro radio units, supplemented by professional services for deployment, integration, and ongoing support. Pricing is quote-based (no public rate cards). The company operates an enterprise field-sales motion that runs side-by-side with a channel-partner ecosystem comprising operators, system integrators, software applications, end device vendors, and hyperscalers that co-deliver end-to-end connectivity. Customer segments are tier-1 carriers/MNOs, enterprises across healthcare, education, transit, hospitality, and manufacturing, and government/defense agencies; named deployments include Charlotte Douglas International Airport, defense MANET and drone platforms, and US-based manufacturing supply. Scale milestones cited by the company are 1M+ radios and 10K+ DAS systems deployed globally.

Strategic positioning leans on US-based manufacturing, Open RAN standardization (which the company says lowers total cost of ownership for operators), and a non-dilutive $42.7M NTIA grant (2024) that funded the industry's first commercial Open RAN deployment. The firmographic footprint of 101-250 employees supports an upper-mid-cap infrastructure vendor operating from R&D and integration sites in the United States with claimed worldwide deployment.
