Boston-based OneLayer has raised $28 million in Series A funding to expand its enterprise-focused private LTE and 5G management and security platform. The oversubscribed round was led by Maor Investments, with participation from McRock Capital, Chevron Technology Ventures, and existing investors Viola Ventures, Grove Ventures, and Koch Disruptive Technologies. The latest investment brings OneLayer’s total funding to more than $43 million, positioning the company to scale go-to-market efforts and product development amid rapid enterprise adoption of private cellular networks.
Founded by Dave Mor (CEO) and Or Turgeman (VP R&D), OneLayer focuses on bringing Zero Trust security and enterprise-grade visibility to private LTE/5G environments. Its software translates cellular protocols into standard IT management frameworks, enabling organizations to manage thousands of cellular-connected devices—ranging from IoT sensors to industrial controllers—without specialized telecom expertise. The company reported 6X growth last year and 3X growth this year, supported by deployments in utilities, mining, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure sectors across North America, Europe, and Latin America.
OneLayer’s technology is already embedded in large-scale networks such as Southern Linc’s 122,000-square-mile (316,000 km²) LTE grid and Evergy’s private LTE network supporting 1.7 million customers across Kansas and Missouri. Its ecosystem includes key partners such as Nokia, Ericsson, Cradlepoint, Digi, ServiceNow, WWT, Anterix, and major cybersecurity vendors Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, and Claroty. The company plans to use the new funding to accelerate market expansion, enhance platform capabilities, and extend its footprint beyond North America.
“Enterprises are deploying private cellular networks at unprecedented scale, but they’re struggling with device visibility, security gaps, and operational complexity that didn’t exist with traditional IT infrastructure,” said Dave Mor, CEO of OneLayer. “Customers need to manage thousands of cellular-connected devices with the same confidence and control they have over their existing IT assets.”
🌐 Analysis: OneLayer’s Series A round underscores growing momentum in enterprise-managed private 5G networks as organizations seek operational control beyond carrier deployments. The company’s Zero Trust and IT-integration approach differentiates it from infrastructure-heavy providers like Celona, Betacom, and Kajeet, which focus more on connectivity than lifecycle management. Chevron’s participation highlights the rising importance of industrial AI and OT security, while partnerships with Nokia and Ericsson point to expanding alignment between software-driven management and traditional telecom infrastructure vendors.
