French Tech Firm Airties to Acquire Bengaluru-based Aprecomm

Airties, a Paris-based telecom giant, has announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Aprecomm, a Bengaluru-based telecommunications and AI software company. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Airties says the acquisition will help its geographic expansion and serve broadband operators in high-growth regions. It adds that it benefits from synergies across product portfolios, R&D and added AI expertise from Aprecomm to further serve ISPs around the world.

Following the acquisition, Aprecomm will operate as a subsidiary of Airties and continue to provide tailored solutions to its customers and the markets in which it operates.

Founded in 2016 by Pramod Gummaraj (Chief Executive Officer) and Guharajan Sivakumar (Chief Technology Officer), Aprecomm’s services include an AI-based application suite that enables service providers to build self-optimizing, self-healing broadband networks. It adds that its engine monitors and optimizes WiFi performance to ensure smooth internet experience.

The company also provides cloud-based support applications, leveraging real-time data to predict and resolve customer service issues. Aprecomm manages over 7 million home and business locations, partnering with more than 50 service providers worldwide.

The 22-year-old Airties works operators to provide smooth, smart, secure connectivity. The company adds that Airties’ suite of hardware-agnostic software enables ISPs to improve the connectivity experience. Airties’ customers include leading service providers such as AT&T, Cox, Deutsche Telekom, Telia, T-Mobile US, Vodafone, and others.

“Aprecomm is very well positioned in growth markets like India and Southeast Asia, so we now have an unmatched foundation to accelerate our expansion further across Asia-Pacific and into South America, two markets where demand for intelligent connectivity is growing at extraordinary speed,” said Metin Taskin, CEO and Co-Founder of Airties. “In addition, the acquisition is aligned with our vision of helping ISPs move to agentic AI platforms for the connected home, where the network autonomously anticipates, adapts and acts to provide the best broadband connectivity experience, lower churn and unlock new revenue for ISPs.”

“Joining Airties, the industry’s pioneer and leader in advancing connectivity experience, is a strong validation of the vision that has shaped Aprecomm from the start,” said Pramod Gummaraj, CEO and Co-Founder of Aprecomm. “Aprecomm was built with the belief that every service provider should be able to deliver a far more intelligent and reliable broadband experience. This combination gives us a broader platform to take that vision further and extend our impact across more markets globally.”
