Etherstack Overview


Wireless Communications Software

Communications Software

Modern radio communications demand ever more extensive and complex software.

First in Radio Protocols

Etherstack is the world's leading independent specialist provider of such software - from wireless protocol stacks (waveforms) for embedded hardware and Software Defined Radio through to complete IP wide-area networks and cryptographic solutions.

Flexible Interoperability

Our engineers combine unique embedded software design skills with expertise in IP soft-switching and a detailed knowledge of communications standards such as APCO P25, TETRA, DMR/dPMR, WiMAX, CDMA, UMTS, LTE and military wireless specifications.

Unique Competencies

This combination of core competencies allows us to offer unique, flexible solutions for complex interoperability problems.

Working with Etherstack

Platform Independent

High Quality
Easy to Maintain
Easy to Reuse

Etherstack's platform-independent software enables manufacturers and system integrators to easily and rapidly introduce standards-based wireless communications products and networks. Software is a component; it does not differentiate a product to an end user. Working with Etherstack frees our customers to focus on features of most value to end-users, such as robust design, packaging, user interface, and system architecture.

Development Cost Down
Time to Market Down
Risk Down

Our goal is to minimise our customers' costs, risk and time to market, whilst providing world-leading software that can be maintained and reused as hardware platforms and standards evolve. Using proprietary techniques and tools allows Etherstack to achieve cost efficient software development and design excellence. The quality of our products is time and field proven, and confirmed by the satisfaction of our customer base.

Full Support Services

Understanding that our clients sometimes need extra engineering assistance, we also offer complete specification, integration and test services for our products, as well as ongoing maintenance contracts.

Ongoing Commitment

Our engineers work side by side with yours at every stage of the project - right through to interoperability testing, field trials and beyond.

Etherstack History


Etherstack originated in Australia twelve years ago providing MPT1327, TETRA and APCO P25 protocol stacks (waveforms) to Land Mobile Radio (LMR) manufacturers around the world.

The first digital LMR radios used discrete, generic general purpose and digital signal processors and can therefore be considered the earliest commercial Software Defined Radio (SDR) platforms to go to market. Recognising that waveform development for such platforms was a complex and therefore specialised activity, Etherstack set out to meet this need.

After more than a decade of successful commercial applications, Etherstack offers a proven approach to wireless software design and has grown to become the world's leading independent supplier of wireless protocol software to LMR industry manufacturers. The company now specialises in two areas: SDR waveform development and LMR system software (protocol stacks and IP core networks).

Etherstack today is a global company and our clients include most of the world's major wireless equipment manufacturers and defence companies.

Etherstack is privately owned, with corporate headquarters in London.
