Antevia secures JOSCAR accreditation

Antevia Networks today announced that it has successfully achieved accreditation for JOSCAR (the Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register), a collaborative tool used by a growing number of prime contractors and buyers in the aerospace, defence and security industry to act as a single repository for pre-qualification and compliance information.

This development allows a broad range of companies from regulated markets to procure Antevia’s private 5G Networks with the confidence that they meet the necessary criteria and provides an easy and secure path for procurement.
 
Antevia’s 5G Shift is designed to overcome the limitations that have to-date held back private network deployments, including high-costs and slow complex installation cycles typically involving major vendors and telecoms domain expert integrators. It delivers better performance than legacy Wi-Fi and congested public mobile networks and provides unbroken coverage using just a fraction of the access points, dramatically reducing the cost and complexity traditionally associated with cellular deployments. Powered by Antevia’s patented multiplexing and Shared Cell technologies, 5G Shift requires minimal RF planning, can be deployed rapidly, and can be managed as easily as enterprise Wi-Fi.
 
Simon Cosgrove, CEO of Antevia Networks, said: “The 5G networks offer high levels of security and reliability when compared to alternatives such as Wi-Fi and nowhere is this more critical than in markets such as Aerospace, Defence and Security.

“However, at the same time, the ability to quickly and flexibly deploy these networks has not been available. We’re delighted to have received JOSCAR accreditation and look forward to bringing rapidly deployable, secure 5G private networks to connect critical systems in a range of scenarios.”
 
Antevia’s 5G Shift leverages an intelligent, cloud-based virtualised RAN architecture built on O-RAN standards and COTS hardware. The patented multiplexing technology enables all radios to appear as a single Shared 5G cell which eliminates handover issues and significantly reduces the number of access points required. In deployments to date, this has been as few as one-tenth of those required for Wi-Fi.
 
The end-to-end private network is easy to design, fast to deploy and simple to operate, making enterprise-grade 5G accessible to SMEs and smaller venues for the first time For channel partners and system integrators, this opens up new markets and the ability to deliver IoT solutions for SMEs which would previously have been impossible to satisfy due to the traditional cost and complexity of 5G.
 
Antevia Networks will be exhibiting at Critical Communications World 2026 in London from 16th–18th June.
