Napatech is a Danish provider of programmable FPGA-based SmartNICs and network-acceleration hardware used for high-speed network monitoring, cybersecurity, and telecom/5G workloads. Its Link-Capture and Link-Inline software, together with the NTAPI/NTPL developer SDK, let applications capture, filter, and process network traffic at line rate with zero packet loss. The developer surface is a C/C++ hardware SDK (NTAPI) plus the NTPL programming language rather than a web/REST API; integrations ship as open-source additions to DPDK, VPP, Open vSwitch, Scapy, and Zeek via the napatech GitHub organization. Surfaced as a portfolio company of Northzone and enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline.
