Certified Problem Solver

Aerwave is a legitimate, Series B funded managed Wi-Fi provider (raised $20M in Sept 2024) serving over 34,000 apartment units. Despite the low-quality submission (which contained lazy claims like 'most people' and empty metrics), independent verification confirms strong real-world utility, significant market traction, and a sophisticated 'Private Network Mobility' product. The score reflects the high value of the verified business, penalized slightly for the poor quality of the submission evidence.

Description
Aerwave is an intelligent Wi-Fi platform that enables private network mobility to business and individual users in shared spaces, such as hotels, multi-tenant commercial buildings, coworking spaces, and coffee shops, among others. Unlike traditional shared networks, Aerwave’s private networks increase security by separating user data into unique logical networks and by leveraging enterprise-level encryption. Aerwave networks allow for multi-user mobility within and between locations, providing users and teams with seamless access, anywhere that Aerwave is located. Powered by Google Cloud Platform, users can manage their device and network settings all from the cloud. Please go to www.aerwave.io for more information.
