ONE2MANY BV

Their core work

ONE2MANY is a Dutch SME specializing in broadcast and multicast communication technologies, particularly for 5G networks. Their company name reflects their core capability: one-to-many message delivery, which applies to mass notification systems, emergency alerts, and efficient content distribution over mobile networks. They contribute telecom expertise to EU research projects spanning both next-generation wireless infrastructure and crisis communication for societal resilience. Their work bridges the gap between advanced 5G network architecture and practical applications like public warning systems and risk awareness platforms.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

ONE2MANY started in 2017 with foundational 5G research on broadcast and multicast enablers (5G-Xcast), focused purely on wireless systems technology. By 2020, they branched in two directions simultaneously: deeper into 5G infrastructure with private networks and cloud-native deployment (FUDGE-5G), and outward into societal applications with crisis communication and resilience (ENGAGE). This dual expansion suggests a company maturing from pure telecom R&D toward real-world deployment scenarios where their one-to-many communication technology meets urgent societal needs like disaster alerting and community resilience.

Moving from foundational 5G research toward applied use cases — expect them to pursue projects combining private 5G networks with public safety, emergency alerts, and critical infrastructure communication.

How they like to work

ONE2MANY operates exclusively as a consortium participant, contributing specialized telecom expertise without taking on coordination responsibilities. With 42 unique partners across just 3 projects, they work in large consortia (averaging 14+ partners per project), which is typical for major EU telecom and security research initiatives. This pattern suggests they are a trusted technical contributor that larger consortia bring in for specific broadcast/multicast capabilities rather than a project initiator.

Despite only three projects, ONE2MANY has built a broad European network of 42 unique partners across 15 countries, reflecting participation in large-scale telecom and security consortia. Their network spans a wide geographic footprint typical of EU 5G and societal resilience research clusters.

What sets them apart

ONE2MANY occupies a niche at the intersection of 5G multicast/broadcast technology and mass communication applications. While many 5G companies focus on speed and capacity, ONE2MANY specializes in the one-to-many delivery problem — efficiently reaching large audiences simultaneously, whether for media distribution or emergency alerts. This makes them a distinctive partner for any consortium needing broadcast expertise within 5G architectures, especially where public safety or critical communication is involved.

Highlights from their portfolio

• 5G-Xcast
  Their largest funded project (€447K) and the most direct expression of their core broadcast/multicast mission within 5G standardization research.
• FUDGE-5G
  Demonstrates their expansion into private 5G network architectures with €368K funding, covering cloud-native deployment and time-sensitive networking for industrial verticals.
• ENGAGE
  An unusual cross-sector move for a telecom SME — applying communication expertise to societal resilience, risk awareness, and community engagement around climate change and disaster preparedness.
