About Us

Our Mission

Breaktrough Technologies.

Our mission is to empower public and private mobile networks with fully-managed, high-performance 5G/6G software solutions that combine flexibility, customization and scalability. Powered by pioneering applied research, we create breakthrough technologies that enable smarter and more efficient networks, transforming the future of connectivity.
01 Who We Are

Telecom Innovation from Lab to Operations

BubbleRAN is an international telecom innovator founded in 2021 in Sophia Antipolis, France. We specialize in cloud-native 5G/6G, O-RAN, and AI-RAN, combining multi-vendor network software, programmable control, intelligent automation, and development environments.

Our portfolio is organized into two complementary families: the MX-PDK Family for R&D, education, experimentation, and validation, and the Sphere Family for network control, management, automation, and optimization. Together, they help organizations evolve from research to real-world deployment without rebuilding their technology foundation.

02 Our DNA

Automation, Intelligence & Open Ecosystem

Automation, Intelligence, and Open Ecosystem are at the core of how we build. We design around standards, interoperability, modular architectures, and open interfaces so customers can work across vendors and technologies without being trapped in a closed stack.

Open source is a strategic foundation, not simply a technology choice. We combine mature open-source technologies with production-grade integration, validation, observability, lifecycle automation, and support. Through open standards, APIs, and initiatives such as TelcoFabric portal, we extend openness beyond source code to applications, AI agents, datasets, models, and reusable blueprints.
