CamGraPhIC secures significant funding to enhance 5G networks through advanced graphene-based photonics technology.
Innovative funding for next-gen technology
CamGraPhIC, a University of Cambridge spin-out, has successfully raised over £813,000 to advance its graphene-based photonics technology. This funding round, led by Wealth Club through the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS), aims to bolster the development of optical transceivers poised to revolutionise 5G networks.
Graphene’s role in 5G enhancement
The company’s technology leverages graphene’s exceptional optoelectronic properties to create optical transceivers that are faster, more efficient, and cost-effective. These advancements are expected to significantly improve data transfer speeds and bandwidth in 5G infrastructures, addressing the escalating global demand for high-speed internet connectivity.
Future prospects and industry impact
With this infusion of capital, CamGraPhIC plans to finalise the fabrication and testing of its prototype devices, with customer testing slated to commence shortly. The successful implementation of this technology could position CamGraPhIC as a leading manufacturer of next-generation optical devices, playing a pivotal role in the evolution of global 5G markets.
