Tata Elxsi partners with Ireland’s Druid Software to expand enterprise 5G solutions

Tata Elxsi has announced a strategic partnership with Ireland-based Druid Software to strengthen its enterprise 5G offerings through integrated private network solutions.

The collaboration will be delivered

through Tata Elxsi’s xG-Force Lab-as-a-Service (LaaS) platform, enabling enterprises to test, validate and scale next-generation connectivity applications.

Druid’s Raemis private cellular core, built on open 3GPP standards, brings combined 4G and 5G core network functionality with an integrated IMS architecture supporting VoLTE, VoNR and advanced multimedia services. The platform is designed to give enterprises a seamless migration path from 4G to 5G, while meeting mission-critical requirements.

Tata Elxsi will integrate 5G capabilities with its in-house platforms — Neuron for autonomous networks, TETHER for connected mobility, TEngage for digital health, and TEDAx for data engineering — to support applications across AI, communications and Industry 4.0. The joint framework is targeted at automotive, healthcare, IoT, AR/VR, digital twin systems, and other high-bandwidth industrial use cases.

“With Lab-as-a-Service, Tata Elxsi is enabling enterprises to de-risk and accelerate their 5G journey,” said Priya S. Kumar, Head of Media & Communications at Tata Elxsi. “Our collaboration with Druid Software ensures enterprises get the best of 5G core and IMS in an integrated, standards-compliant environment.”

Sumit Gehani, VP of Sales at Druid Software, added that combining the firm’s multigenerational 4G/5G core with Tata Elxsi’s LaaS platform provides enterprises the confidence to deploy connectivity tailored for demanding operational needs.

The announcement follows a modest sequential improvement in Tata Elxsi’s recent quarterly performance. Constant-currency revenue returned to growth after two quarters of decline, while EBIT margins expanded by 30 basis points quarter-on-quarter. Growth was led by the Media segment, up 4%, while the Transportation and Healthcare verticals contracted.

Employee headcount fell 1.5% sequentially and 6.6% year-on-year, and brokerages have maintained a cautious outlook.

Shares of Tata Elxsi Ltd closed at ₹5,190.50, down 0.75% on the NSE on Wednesday.
