To accommodate its growing staff, in 2006 ip.access relocated to new offices in Cambourne Business Park, Cambridge, where it remains.{{Cite press release |url=http://www.ipaccess.com/content/news/press.php?id=20 |title=ip.access Moves to New Offices to Support Growth |publisher=ip.access |accessdate=June 3, 2011 |date=September 15, 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111003111422/http://www.ipaccess.com/content/news/press.php?id=20 |archive-date=October 3, 2011 |url-status=dead }}

In October 2000, TTP Group spun off its communications division (TTP Communications, or TTPCom) in an initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange, and ip.access joined the spin-off as a wholly owned subsidiary of the TTPCom group.

In March 2006, the company secured an £8.5 million round of funding from Intel Capital, Scottish Equity Partners, and Rothschild & Cie Banque.{{Cite press release |url= http://www.ipaccess.com/content/news/press.php?id=27 |title= ip.access Secures £8.5 million Funding to Accelerate Growth in Cost-Effective Cellular Infrastructure for Homes and Businesses |publisher= ip.access |accessdate= June 3, 2011 |date= March 13, 2006 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20111003111435/http://www.ipaccess.com/content/news/press.php?id=27 |archive-date= October 3, 2011 |url-status= dead }} As part of its June 2006 acquisition of TTP Communications, Motorola also gained a stake in ip.access.[https://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/06/07/motorola_buys_ttpcom/ Motorola gobbles up TTPcom], The Register, June 7, 2006.

Acquisition by Mavenir

On September 27, 2020 ip.access was acquired by Mavenir, the supplier of cloud-native network software to communication service providers. The acquisition allowed the integration of ip.access’ 2G and 3G technologies into Mavenir's existing 4G and 5G OpenRAN portfolio broadband suite and also extend its reach into the enterprise market for private wireless networks based on 3GPP technologies such as 4G/LTE and 5G.

The sale of ip.access Ltd to Mavenir was led by the ip.access management team; Richard Staveley (CEO), Nick Johnson (CTO & Founder), Neil Winrow (COO) and Laura Lawrence (CFO).

The two companies had worked together to deliver Vodafone UK's first Open RAN site at the Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells in August 2020.

In November 2020, Mavenir announced the establishment of an OpenRAN Centre of Innovation to be centred at the ip.access headquarters in Cambridge, UK.
