Who we are, what we do & why we do it

Firecell was created in 2021 with the help of its founding shareholder Eurecom, a private R&D Lab that developed the Open Air Interface source code. Firecell has assembled a team of telecom experts with the ambition of building the reference of open source private networks.
With several contracts worth a million dollars signed in only 6 months, Firecell’s original approach proves to attract many market players looking for flexibility, transparency and independence in the development of their 4G and 5G offers.
