Telecommunications deals in the 11 most recent rows show one clear size outlier in disclosed funding: Nextnav raised $190M on 2025-03-12, dwarfing the next-largest disclosed amount of $14M (Digitgate Communication Technology, 2025-10-01). Outside that top end, disclosed rounds cluster mostly in the single-digit to low-teens range ($1M to $14M), with smaller tickets such as Bintel at $1M (2023-03-21) and Microamp at $5M (2026-06-17).
Stage and disclosure patterns are also uneven. Three of the 11 rows have “Series Unknown” classifications (Microamp, McKay Brothers, Nextnav, plus another “Series Unknown” entry via a distinct row name: Gadget korea is disclosed as $8M but is “Venture - Series Unknown”), while 3 are “undisclosed” by amount (Share 2026-04-13, McKay Brothers 2025-10-30, Sprocket Networks 2025-09-19, and lynes 2023-03-15). Geographically, the list is split across North America and Europe: the U.S. appears multiple times (Nextnav, Noble Mobile, Sprocket Networks, McKay Brothers), while Sweden contributes two entries (Bintel and lynes) within 2023-03-21 to 2023-03-15. Temporally, the visible window runs from 2023-03-15 (lynes) to 2026-06-17 (Microamp).

Frequently asked
What does the largest disclosed round look like compared with the rest of the telecommunications list?
Nextnav’s $190M round on 2025-03-12 is the only disclosed entry far above the rest; the next-largest disclosed amount is $14M (Digitgate Communication Technology on 2025-10-01), while other disclosed rounds sit at $10M or below (e.g., Noble Mobile $10M on 2025-09-20; Krucial $4M on 2023-09-12).
Are there date clusters in these 11 most recent telecommunications rounds?
Yes. Four rounds fall in late 2025 around mid-to-late September and early October: Sprocket Networks (undisclosed, 2025-09-19), Noble Mobile ($10M, 2025-09-20), Digitgate Communication Technology ($14M, 2025-10-01), and McKay Brothers (undisclosed, 2025-10-30) plus Gadget korea ($8M, 2025-10-27) within the same quarter. The list also spans a long gap after 2023 (oldest disclosed date is 2023-03-21 for Bintel and 2023-03-15 for lynes) through to 2026-06-17 (Microamp).
Which cities or countries appear more than once, indicating local concentration?
Sweden is the most obvious concentration: Bintel is listed in Helsingborg (2023-03-21, $1M) and lynes is listed in Solna (2023-03-15, undisclosed). The U.S. also repeats across multiple entries—Nextnav in Mclean, Virginia ($190M on 2025-03-12), Noble Mobile in New York ($10M on 2025-09-20), Sprocket Networks in Dallas (undisclosed on 2025-09-19), and McKay Brothers in Oakland (undisclosed on 2025-10-30).
How much of the list has undisclosed or “Series Unknown” amounts, and does that affect comparability?
Out of 11 rows, 4 have non-comparable funding disclosures: 3 are explicitly “undisclosed” by amount (Share 2026-04-13, McKay Brothers 2025-10-30, Sprocket Networks 2025-09-19, plus lynes 2023-03-15), and 3 are labeled “Series Unknown” (Microamp 2026-06-17, McKay Brothers 2025-10-30, Nextnav 2025-03-12). In practice, most size-based comparisons rely on the remaining disclosed amounts (e.g., $8M to $14M in late 2025).
Is there a stage mix that dominates the recent telecommunications rounds shown here?
Seed appears frequently among disclosed rounds: Krucial is Seed ($4M on 2023-09-12), Noble Mobile is Seed ($10M on 2025-09-20), and Share is listed as Seed but with an undisclosed amount (2026-04-13). Beyond Seed, the list includes one late-stage datapoint in the disclosed set—Digitgate Communication Technology’s Series C ($14M, 2025-10-01)—and one very large “Series Unknown” entry (Nextnav $190M, 2025-03-12).
Which entries are closest to the “outlier vs. rest” boundary, and which are the smallest disclosed rounds?
Closest to the upper boundary (while still far below $190M) is Digitgate Communication Technology’s $14M (2025-10-01). On the low end, the smallest disclosed amount is $1M for Bintel (2023-03-21), with other small tickets including Bintel-adjacent Sweden entries like lynes (undisclosed on 2023-03-15) and Microamp at $5M (2026-06-17).
