About Expway

Expway provides LTE Broadcast and Multicast software and solutions, enabling mobile network operators and content providers to deliver high-quality video and data services to large audiences simultaneously. The company's technology is designed to offload data traffic from mobile networks during peak usage, such as live sporting events, breaking news, or popular content streaming, thus preventing network congestion and ensuring a consistent user experience. The core products include the Expway Middleware, which is integrated into mobile devices to receive broadcast signals, and the Expway BMSC (Broadcast Multicast Service Center), a server that manages the scheduling and delivery of content over the network. This technology allows for efficient delivery of various services, including live TV, push notifications for emergency alerts, and content pre-loading directly to user devices.

Founded in 2000, Expway has established itself as a key player in the 3GPP-standardized Multicast-Broadcast Multimedia Services (MBMS) and Mission Critical Push-to-Talk (MCPTT) markets. Its solutions cater to Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), device manufacturers, and public safety agencies. The business model relies on licensing its software to these clients. Expway has been an active participant in the standardization of these technologies within bodies like 3GPP. The company has deployed its technology in several commercial networks globally, including a notable large-scale deployment with Verizon Wireless in the United States.

The founding team's vision was to solve the scalability challenges of mobile video delivery. While specific details about the founders' individual journeys are not prominently public, the company's long-standing focus and technical leadership in the LTE Broadcast niche indicate deep expertise in mobile networking and broadcast technologies. The company is headquartered in Paris, France, with a presence in the USA and Asia.
