Nephelie Technologies offers wireless networking solutions to support time-sensitive applications that require the control and management of a 'network of networks' combining different wireless technologies under a unified management and orchestration.
The problem we solve
Nephelie Technologies addresses the challenge of delivering highly demanding data flows with strict performance requirements in terms of bandwidth (>10Gbps) and latency (<10ms) over a time-sensitive wireless network.
The company is specifically focus on a new generation of applications which require high upload speeds. Such applications are not represented by any of the three types of services defined in the 3GPP standards namely eMBB, URLLC and mMTC. The key difference lies on the required uplink connection which is typically many times higher than that of the downlink connection.
Use Cases
Our Technology
Currently, there are no widely deployed wireless networking technology that supports uplink connections exceeding 10 Gbps. The only practical alternative is to combine multiple wireless networking technologies such as Wi-Fi, Li-Fi, mmWave and 5G to meet the high uplink demands of these demanding application. Nephelie's products use Multipath TCP (MPTCP), a networking standard that extends traditional TCP to support simultaneous data transmission over multiple network paths. This approach can achieve higher bandwidth and reliability but requires a new innovative approach to key networking challenges:
Synchronisation
Proper sync over different paths is essential to ensure all connections work seamlessly and efficiently to avoid packet loss and minimise latency. Clock sync ensures packets from different paths arrive with consistent timing.
Load Balancing
Load balancing distributes traffic across the available connections effectively based on various factors such as bandwidth, latency, and connection reliability. It is vital for data processing done both at the network's edge and in the cloud.
Monitoring
Continuously monitor the performance of various data paths via a software-defined controller enables centralised control and management.
Orchestration
Centralised network orchestration continuously assess the performance of the various wireless data paths and make dynamic adjustments as needed.
Compression
Data compression and optimisation is used to maximise utilisation of available bandwidth and minimise latency. High compression allows a more efficient use of the spectrum but deteriorates the quality of the service (e.g. received video).
Quality-of-Service
Prioritise traffic for a specific application ensures it gets the required bandwidth and low latency over other applications in the same network. This can be used for layered compression algorithms to improve the service resilience.

Why use our solutions?
Simpler and Cost Effective
By reducing the need for extensive cabling, fixed rigging and specialised equipment Nephelie's solutions offers a cost-effective approach that costs 50% less than conventional systems. Use of light-field 3D renderings further reduces system cost as the camera requirement is less.
Wireless and Portable
Nephelie's solutions are wireless and lightweight making them suitable for a wide range of different use cases and deployment scenarios. Moreover, the wireless camera module has a small size and weight so it can be easily attached to drones or other autonomous systems.
Scalable and Adaptable
A modular design facilitates easy expansion while light-field renderings handle complex and challenging scenes with difficult lighting and environmental conditions making them suitable for outdoor use and for a broad range of other use case scenarios.
