The Company was founded in 2000 by ten engineers from Cambridge University who secured private equity funding to develop an innovative solution to the increased demand for mobile communications. Soon after the company started, the earliest variant of VectaStar was launched and shipped to the first customers. Over the following years CBNL identified new market opportunities and developed product variants to address those, featuring new frequencies and a move into the backhaul space.
The period of 2005-10 saw the Company grow 864 per cent - growth which ranked the Company in the top 200 on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA 2010, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in EMEA, and reaching number 38 in the Sunday Times Microsoft Tech Track 100 in 2011.
In November 2011 the Company supplied microwave radio equipment to backhaul Telefónica UK’s O2 4G trial network in London, UK.
