What eantc aktiengesellschaft does

EANTC AG is a Berlin-based, privately held German stock corporation (AG) operating under the trade name European Advanced Networking Test Center. The company provides vendor-neutral, independent testing and consultancy services for telecommunications and network technologies, positioning itself as a leading independent test laboratory in Europe. Its service portfolio spans acceptance tests, prototyping tests, troubleshooting tests, functionality tests, interoperability tests, performance tests, certification, consulting, and DevOps/test automation, delivered through both on-site and remote testing models using advanced equipment and secure remote access to customer systems.

The company organizes its offering around three primary customer segments — enterprises and governments, service providers, and network equipment vendors — and around technology coverage areas that include network infrastructure (NFV, IP/MPLS transport and routing, Open RAN/Disaggregated RAN, 5G Core/SBA E2E slicing, multicast, mobile backhaul), application-layer infrastructure (data center networks and systems), and security (network security, SD-WAN/SASE). EANTC also runs recurring industry programs, including the EANTC Transport & Cloud Networks Interop Test (with Upperside World Congress), the O-RAN Alliance Global PlugFest (with i14y Lab, Digital Catapult, and Orange), and the xG-ALOE PlugFest and User Forum (with Fraunhofer HHI and Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft). It is participating in the EU-funded CoRe 5G Centres of Vocational Excellence program.

EANTC monetizes exclusively through professional services: quote-based test sessions and consulting engagements sold via direct sales (website contact forms, email [email protected], and newsletter signup), with no public pricing tiers and no disclosed recurring SaaS, subscription, or product revenue. Marketing is primarily digital and event-driven (website, LinkedIn, YouTube, newsletter, industry plugfests), and the go-to-market is sales-led, targeting technical buyers inside vendors, operators, and large enterprise/government network teams. The company has 11–50 employees, a single Berlin headquarters, and no disclosed funding, ownership structure, or financial figures.
