What NEPHELIE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED does

Nephelie Technologies Limited is a Bristol, UK-based deep-tech company founded in 2023 that develops wireless networking infrastructure for bandwidth-intensive digital creation, principally volumetric video production. Its core technology combines a proprietary Multipath QUIC (MP-QUIC) networking protocol — aggregating heterogeneous wireless paths (Wi-Fi, Li-Fi, mmWave, Private 5G) into a unified connection — with AI/ML-driven rendering pipelines based on 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), 4D Gaussian Splats, and Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF). The product portfolio includes a Wireless Camera Module (from £3,500), the turn-key nCOMM Wi-Fi 7 system (from £20,000, supporting up to 64 cameras at 5 Gbps aggregate bandwidth), and the premium nCOMM+ Private 5G/Wi-Fi 7 system (from £100,000, supporting up to 120 cameras at 20 Gbps), complemented by commissioned 3D scanning services, a system rental program, and software development services. The company markets its stack as the world's first fully wireless volumetric video capture system, claiming up to 50% cost reduction versus wired alternatives through elimination of cabling and fixed rigs.

Nephelie pursues a direct enterprise sales motion with quote-based pricing for custom solutions and modular hardware sales, supported by a trusted service partner network that handles on-site scanning operations. To date the company has secured approximately £3 million in non-dilutive UK Government and Innovate UK funding — a £1.8 million Future Telecoms contract (March 2024), a £1.2 million Innovate UK Advanced Connectivity grant (September 2025), and an earlier Innovate UK Transformative Technologies award (May 2023) — and collaborates with the University of Bristol's Smart Internet Lab, Weaver Labs, and Bristol Digital Futures Institute as R&D sub-contractors. Disclosed customer engagements are concentrated in UK museums and heritage sites (Fashion Museum Bath, International Slavery Museum Liverpool, Guildhall Bath Spa), while stated target segments span creative industries, e-commerce and retail, industrial digital twins, real estate, education, and holographic telepresence.

Core offering

Nephelie Technologies designs, develops, and sells wireless networking systems purpose-built for volumetric video, 3D capture, and other bandwidth-intensive digital creation workflows. Its product portfolio comprises turn-key wireless capture systems (nCOMM on Wi-Fi 7 and nCOMM+ on Private 5G + Wi-Fi 7), proprietary wireless camera modules with multi-radio support, and professional 3D scanning services delivered through a partner network. The underlying differentiator is the proprietary Multipath QUIC (MP-QUIC) protocol that aggregates Wi-Fi, Li-Fi, mmWave, and Private 5G into a single unified connection with sub-10 ms latency and over 10 Gbps throughput.

Product overview

Nephelie Technologies offers a portfolio of wireless volumetric video capture systems centered around its nCOMM and nCOMM+ platforms. The nCOMM System (Wi-Fi 7) is a complete turn-key solution supporting up to 64 wireless cameras at up to 5 Gbps aggregate bandwidth, while the nCOMM+ (Private 5G & Wi-Fi 7) represents the premium tier supporting up to 120 cameras at up to 20 Gbps for both indoor and outdoor captures. Both systems integrate the Wireless Camera Module (12-24 MP, 1-120 fps, 5G/4G/LTE/mmWave/Wi-Fi 7 options) and 3DGS rendering software. The portfolio is complemented by professional 3D scanning services for commissioned captures and a rental model for turn-key wireless capture solutions.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Polycam: Consumer/prosumer 3D scanning and Gaussian Splatting platform using phones and LiDAR. Partial overlap with Nephelie's 3DGS-based capture pipeline but at a different end of the market — Polycam focuses on accessible scanning while Nephelie builds high-end multi-camera wireless capture systems.
• Leia Inc. Provider of light-field 3D capture and display technology for immersive media experiences. Comparable as an emerging player in the 3D / volumetric content stack, intersecting with Nephelie's volumetric capture and holographic telepresence roadmap.

Broad incumbents

• Ericsson (Private 5G): Major telecom equipment vendor with private 5G solutions for enterprise, manufacturing, and venues. Overlaps with the private-network portion of Nephelie's value proposition but competes through carrier-grade scale and integrator relationships rather than creative-workload specialization.
• Arista Networks: Enterprise and high-performance networking vendor with Wi-Fi 6E/7 access points and campus switching. Comparable at the Wi-Fi 7 infrastructure layer of nCOMM, though Arista targets general enterprise campus networking rather than volumetric capture deployments.
• Nokia (DAC / MX Industrial Edge): Global telecom incumbent offering private 4.9G / 5G and Wi-Fi networking solutions via Nokia Digital Automation Cloud and MXIE. Comparable to the Private 5G + Wi-Fi 7 layer of nCOMM+, but Nokia is a broad incumbent with full-stack portfolios rather than a specialist focused on creative workloads.
• Microsoft (Mixed Reality / Azure): Operates Azure Mixed Reality services including volumetric capture partnerships and Mesh for immersive collaboration. Comparable as a platform layer addressing volumetric capture and holographic telepresence, though Microsoft operates at hyperscale rather than as a capture-systems specialist.
• Cisco (Meraki / Cisco Networking): Global networking incumbent with Meraki cloud-managed Wi-Fi and private 5G offerings. Comparable to Nephelie's Wi-Fi 7 + Private 5G networking substrate but Cisco competes as a broad networking platform spanning many verticals, not a specialist in creative or volumetric workloads.

Direct peers

• Dimension Studio: London-headquartered volumetric video capture and production studio serving film, advertising, and immersive content. Directly comparable to Nephelie's nCOMM / nCOMM+ systems as both produce 3D / volumetric content for creative industries, though Dimension operates its own capture stages rather than selling capture infrastructure.
• 4DViews: French provider of volumetric video capture systems and HoloStreamer hardware for live performance and entertainment. Closely comparable to Nephelie in offering turn-key volumetric capture technology, although 4DViews is wired-stage oriented versus Nephelie's wireless focus.
• Volucap: Berlin-based volumetric video capture studio and technology provider for film, advertising, and immersive media. Comparable as a specialist volumetric-capture player serving the same creative-industry use cases Nephelie targets with its nCOMM wireless systems.
