AccelerComm delivers high-performance, error-resilient physical layer solutions for 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN).

We process 10x more 5G data per watt than software-only alternatives, powering 200+ satellites operating in orbit today.

As specialists in Radio Access Networks (RAN) applications, our 5G experts engineer solutions that achieve cutting-edge performance and power efficiency on next-generation compute platforms.  Protected by 55 patents, our technology portfolio positions AccelerComm at the forefront of NTN innovation. Tier-1 operators and aerospace primes rely on us for mission-critical soluitons embedded within their space-based production networks.

AccelerComm offers a comprehensive solution portfolio spanning customizable signal processing components through complete physical layer solutions, implemented across multiple platforms tailored to the use case - software, AI Engines, FPGA, and ASIC-ready IP cores. Our modular approach integrates seamlessly with O-RAN, SCF and 3GPP standards.

We configure our solutions for diverse applications, optimizing power consumption, latency, reliability, and resilience. Our technology tackles the unique challenges of NTN satellite communications, deploying space-proven implementations that meet stringent SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) requirements.

AccelerComm continuously innovates, expanding a portfolio protected by 55 patents to give customers access to the latest advancements in physical layer technology, enabling them to rapidly and reliably build tomorrow's high-performance, low-power networks.
