What Wavesight does
Wavesight is a UK-based designer and manufacturer of industrial-grade wireless communication systems founded in 2004 and headquartered in Luton, Bedfordshire. The company sells a vertically integrated portfolio spanning private LTE/5G networks (Hawk5G), point-to-point and point-to-multipoint industrial radios (Scorpion, WASP, Firefly, Scorpion Ex, WaveSTREAM), Wi-Fi 6 enterprise access points (Dragonfly), body-worn cameras with LTE streaming and evidence management (HawkEye), ruggedized tablets (HalView), and integrated solar power systems (Solis). Products are rated for harsh and hazardous environments (-40C to +60C, IP67, MIL-STD-810H, ATEX Zone 1/2/21/22), and the company holds EU Type Approval under EN IEC 60079 standards, enabling deployment in explosive atmospheres across oil & gas, chemical, and mining sites.
The company's go-to-market is a hybrid direct-and-channel model: direct enterprise field sales for major government and industrial accounts combined with 60 channel partners across 30 countries and exclusive distributor relationships such as Canon India for HawkEye and Inflow Technologies for broader India coverage. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales (radios, cameras, access points, tablets, solar systems), supplemented by professional services for system integration, deployment and training, cloud-based network management software, and subscription-based digital evidence management for body-worn camera deployments. Customer evidence emphasizes mission-critical workloads at airports, highways, mining sites, oil & gas refineries, ports, utilities, nuclear facilities (NPCIL), police forces, and water utilities (Anglian Water), with India as the most documented geographic concentration—6,000+ radios across 100 projects and a 7,500-radio Rajasthan deployment being standout contract anchors.
The business is privately held with no external institutional investors disclosed. Operations are supported by manufacturing in Goa, India via a partnership with Josh Tech under the Make in India initiative, with domestic-production positioning expected to improve Indian PSU and government tender competitiveness. Recent strategic activity (2026) is concentrated on distribution scale-up (Canon India exclusivity, Josh Tech localization), indicating a phase of channel and geographic expansion rather than capital-markets activity.
