What Amarisoft does
Amarisoft SAS is a privately-held French telecommunications software company founded in 2012 in Levallois-Perret. The company develops 100% software-based 4G LTE and 5G NR technology including a full software eNodeB/gNodeB stack with complete physical-layer implementation, a compact Release 18 4G/5G core network integrating MME, SGW, PGW, PCRF, HSS, EIR, ePDG, AMF, AUSF, SMF, UPF, UDM and 5G-EIR functions, an IMS server, an MBMS gateway, an N3IWF, and an LTE/NR UE simulator. The technology runs on standard Linux distributions on x86 or ARM commodity hardware without requiring hardware acceleration, with configuration exposed through JSON parameters and a WebSocket API for automation.
The company operates two product lines. Its Test & Measurement portfolio includes the AMARI Callbox Series (Mini, Classic, Advanced, Ultimate, Extreme) for device testing, the AMARI UE Simbox Series (LTE, E, MBS, and Infinity) for base-station and network testing, and supporting hardware such as the AMARI PCIe SDR 100 4x4 card and AMARI PCIe CPRI 40 interface card. The Infinity simulator can emulate up to 60,000 concurrent active UEs across 96 cells at over 100 Gbps throughput. Its Public & Private Networks portfolio provides binary and source-code vRAN software licenses that infrastructure partners integrate with split 8 (CPRI) or O-RAN split 7.2 radio front ends to deliver small cells, femto cells, macro base stations, and network-in-a-box solutions.
Amarisoft monetizes through multi-year perpetual binary and source-code software licenses, hardware sales of test equipment, and annual support and update subscriptions. Distribution is mediated through an ecosystem of more than 40 infrastructure-vendor partners — including Furukawa, Intel, AMD, Kontron, Lime Microsystems, Fairwaves, Cablefree, AW2S, Enensys, Eviden, Cornet, and others — with deployments confirmed across more than 60 countries. End customers fall into four segments: device and network equipment manufacturers, infrastructure vendors, private network operators in broadcast, smart cities, oil & gas, healthcare, agriculture, rural broadband, IoT utilities, and tactical communications, and R&D and testing laboratories. The company has 11-50 employees and is co-founded by Fabrice Bellard (Chief Technology Officer) and Franck Spinelli (Chief Executive Officer).
