GenXComm offers a Network-as-a-Service platform delivering turnkey private 4G LTE and 5G mesh networks for enterprise and industrial customers. Its technology, developed from University of Texas research, combines radio frequency and photonics and enables wireless channels to transmit and receive simultaneously on the same frequencies. The approach aims to produce bandwidth-efficient, secure, interference-free and cost-effective mobile networks with greater coverage than conventional WiFi. GenXComm’s solutions can operate across a variety of spectrum bands, including CBRS, and are deployable for state and federal agencies, industrial and manufacturing environments, transportation and distribution centers, utilities, agriculture, healthcare, large venues and temporary events. The company plans to use new funding to accelerate product development and the commercial launch of its private LTE and 5G offerings. GenXComm commercializes a full‑duplex radio designed to operate reliably under tough real‑world conditions and to enable full‑duplex links for Cable (DOCSIS), Wi‑Fi, 5G and the Internet of Things. Its technology emerged from four years of multidisciplinary research and development at The University of Texas at Austin. The company was founded in 2016 by CEO Sriram Vishwanath and inventor Hardik Jain and is based in Austin, Texas. GenXComm held the initial closing of a $7m Series A funding round to expand its R&D team. The Series A round was led by Intel Capital with participation from existing and new investors. The round could see additional investors join in a secondary closing.
