Introduction & Market Context
Maven Wireless Sweden AB (NASDAQ FIRST NORTH:MAVEN), a developer of digital repeaters and DAS (Distributed Antenna System) platforms, presented its Q2 2025 results on July 16, showcasing significant growth in a rapidly evolving wireless communications market. Founded in 2016, the company designs its products in Sweden and manufactures them in Europe, serving a global market projected to reach $13 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 6.2%.
The company operates in an industry being transformed by the continued rollout of 5G technology. According to the Ericsson (BS:ERICAs) Mobility Report cited in Maven’s presentation, global 5G subscribers are expected to reach 6.3 billion by 2030, with 5G networks carrying 80% of all mobile data traffic by that time.
Maven Wireless has strategically positioned itself at the intersection of several growth trends, including the expansion of indoor 5G deployments, the transition of public safety networks from TETRA to LTE, and the replacement of GSM-Rail with Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS).

It’s worth noting that Maven’s Q2 results were negatively impacted by currency exchange effects of -2,272 TSEK, including unrealized effects of approximately -800 TSEK and realized effects of about -1,472 TSEK. Additionally, the company mentioned that sales of components had a negative impact of -1,899 TSEK on EBITDA.
Strategic Initiatives & Market Outlook
Maven Wireless outlined three key strategies to drive future growth. First, the company aims to secure new customers through a stronger internal sales team and partnerships. Second, it plans to expand into new markets, including North America, Australia, and further into Asia and the Middle East. Third, Maven intends to accelerate growth in the cellular segment with its 5G offerings, including the Nimbus FTTA (Fiber To The Antenna) solution and 5G support on its existing DAS platform.
The company sees significant opportunities in the 5G indoor deployment market, noting that the majority of these deployments are still to come as operators have prioritized macro coverage first. Maven also highlighted that AI applications will likely expand data consumption on 5G networks, strengthening uplink requirements and the need for high radio quality.
In the public safety market, Maven has developed FRMCS radio remotes that are already installed in Switzerland and being used to equip rail tunnels ahead of the general launch expected after 2030. The company has also developed 700 LTE radio remotes for next-generation public safety networks, available as dual-band including the 400 MHz TETRA standard.
Recent Business Wins
During Q2 2025, Maven Wireless secured two significant airport projects in the Middle East. The first involves a UAE airport requiring TETRA and PS_LTE capabilities, contributing to a 7 MSEK order. The second project is with another airport using Motorola (NYSE:MSI) as the integrator with TETRA technology, amounting to a 3.1 MSEK order.
These wins highlight the company’s ability to secure contracts in critical infrastructure projects where reliable wireless coverage is essential.
Maven Wireless has built an impressive portfolio of reference projects across various sectors and geographies, including tunnels, hospitals, data centers, commercial buildings, and transportation infrastructure. One notable reference project is the Dubai Mall, where Maven implemented a digital DAS system providing full coverage for both TETRA and LTE, with complete redundancy and support for 5G and ORAN.
As Maven Wireless continues to execute its growth strategy, the company appears well-positioned to capitalize on the ongoing digital transformation of wireless communications infrastructure, particularly as 5G deployments accelerate and public safety networks modernize.
