Druid Software raised $20m last year to expand into defence, shipping and utilities sectors.
Wicklow company Druid Software has acquired Node-H, a Munich-based provider of Radio Access Network (RAN) software and User Equipment technologies. Details of the transaction were not revealed.
The deal gives Druid access to software engineers from Node-H, alongside the German company’s IP and RAN-related software expertise, expanding the Wicklow company’s engineering capacity at a time of strong demand for private 4G and 5G networks.
The acquired IP will support Druid’s ongoing development of its unified management platform, which would allow the company to simplify deployment, operation and lifecycle management around private networks, it said.
The addition also supports Druid to license selected software assets to other companies operating in the O-RAN and RAN ecosystem.
