Effnetplattformen Holding AB (publ): Effnet licenses its header compression software to Tejas Networks
Luleå 2026-03-10 — Effnet AB, a subsidiary of Effnetplattformen Holding AB and the premier provider of header compression software for wireless and fixed networks, announces that it has licensed its header compression software to Tejas Networks, a telecom equipment manufacturer which is part of Tata Group, one of India’s largest diversified industrial groups. The software will be used in the customer’s 4G and 5G technology Radio Access Network (RAN) equipment. The license fee from the agreement is expected to contribute positively to the revenue in Q1 2026. The agreement also contains options to license Effnet’s other header compression products, as well as an option to license for 6G. The potential revenue from each option, if exercised, is expected to have a positive financial impact in the respective quarter.
Effnet's header compression delivers high compression efficiency even in challenging radio conditions. This is particularly important to maintain quality of service – especially for VoLTE and VoNR - in cell edge or radio interference prone areas. It delivers high compression efficiency with minimal CPU and memory use, enabling strong performance in resource-constrained devices such as IoT or RedCap, while also scaling seamlessly to high-capacity platforms like cellular base stations and satellite ground stations. This sets Effnet's header compression software apart and together with prompt and efficient support services throughout the product lifecycle - it is the first choice of software for header compression technology.
"We are pleased to have such a marquee customer in our portfolio. We have been licensing our header compression portfolio since the introduction of 3G technology, through 4G and 5G technologies and now our customers are considering it for 6G technology which is still under development. This proves the importance of a high quality product and professional service with a long-term commitment to bring value to our customers" says Aniruddha Kulkarni, Managing Director of Effnet AB.
Effnet’s header compression technology is deployed worldwide in cellular/mobile, satellite, industrial, defence, enterprise and other communications products and markets. The software is standards compliant with IETF and 3GPP specifications (3G/4G/5G) as well as proven interoperable. It is secure, feature-rich and widely deployed.
