CHICAGO — Auctus Capital Partners is pleased to announce its role as exclusive advisor to Telewave, Inc., supporting the leading enterprise radio frequency telecom and wireless systems equipment provider secure an asset-backed credit facility from LSQ. The transaction — which enables the client to better manage its supply chain and enhance its go-to market strategy for products that will lead advancements in sensor and antenna technology — was led by Auctus’ Vice President of Capital Markets Ovais Siddiqui.
“We are delighted to have Telewave as our client and look forward to working collaboratively as the company continues to solidify its competitive advantage and evolve as a true category leader in telecom,” said Muhammad Azfar, CEO and Managing Partner of Auctus Capital Partners.

Its products include transmitter combiners, receiver multicouplers, filters and cavities that support Land Mobile Radio, Cellular, SMR, GSM, and Broadcast services.
“Distributed antenna networks and related equipment represent the most attractive areas of growth in telecom, especially as building codes and public safety standards increase requirements for distributed antenna systems (DAS). In fact, the DAS category on its own is expected to grow 10.9% (to $13.7 billion) by 2023, supported by FirstNet additions and general growth in the public safety IoT market (estimated to increase by 15.8% (to $2.4 billion) by 2025),” said Siddiqui.
Working closely with Telewave, Auctus Capital Partners secured financing from LSQ, which improves its supply chain, streamlines distribution, and provides working capital for growth. Auctus teams worked to improve terms of the credit facility and collateral structure, while mitigating unforeseen variables that surfaced around the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Auctus Capital Partners understood our needs and managed the transaction diligently and efficiently throughout, essentially working as our extended corporate finance arm,” said Telewave CEO Bob Saffari. “We are grateful to have a conscientious partner supporting us through an unprecedented time as Telewave transforms in its next phase of growth. We hope to continue working with Auctus on future transactions.”
