Our take
Digital network infrastructure is in practice controlled by a few major firms such as Cisco and Arista which provide hardware and software routers. Communications companies are generally reluctant to change their existing partnerships and ways of doing business.
Arrcus doesn't seek to compete with these giants, but instead focuses on 5G infrastructure which has traditionally been both expensive to build and difficult to monetise. By providing a software solution running on generic third-party routers, Arrcus offers a cost-effective and cutting edge option for communications providers looking for change. This has led to a rapid uptake in its services, including from the likes of Samsung and SoftBank.
Arrcus closed a Series D funding round led by Prosperity7 in 2023. It is using this investment to further develop its 5G and multi-cloud product range as well as to expand its marketing reach. As a company building vital infrastructure for the 5G digital landscape, it is in an excellent position to build a significant business in this space.
