The latest funding round was oversubscribed and in addition to participation from the existing investors - Accel Partners, Adara, Amadeus Capital Partners and TVM Capital - the company secured a significant contribution from Samsung Ventures Europe.
Samsung Ventures’ investment - the first by its newly created European venture investment group - is a precursor to the development of a strategic relationship to create a new channel to market for Cambridge Broadband Network’s VectaStar point-to-multipoint systems.
