Building the foundation for autonomous telecom networks

Charles Ricke founded Acernis in 2018 together with friends he met during his studies in the Netherlands. We started as a drone consultancy for large infrastructure industries, getting hands-on experience at the sharp end of how physical networks are actually built.

Over the following years, we expanded across the full telecom supply chain. Working with over 50 organisations including planners, general contractors, TowerCos and MNOs. This gave us an unusually deep understanding of every role, every workflow and every friction point in the network rollout process.

That experience became the foundation for our software platform. We built it from the ground up to support the entire ecosystem, because network rollouts only work when all stakeholders align and work from the same accurate basis.

Today, Acernis focuses on MNOs as the central steering entity of network planning and deployment. Eight years in, we bring everything we've learned from across the supply chain into a single platform, so that every stakeholder can do their part, faster and with less friction.
