FREMONT, Calif., November 25, 2024 — Actelis Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASNS) (“Actelis” or the “Company”), a market leader in cyber-hardened, rapid deployment networking solutions for IoT applications, today announced that it has received new orders for the Washington DC Department of Transportation (“DDOT”). These orders follow the approximately $2.3 million order announced in May 2024 which played a crucial role in modernizing and standardizing DDOT’s network connectivity infrastructure along its roadways and intersections.
Actelis continues on the footsteps of the recently announced project in critical infrastructure modernization with new orders, reinforcing its position as a trusted partner in the nation’s capital; Collaborating with key DDOT integrator M.C. Dean
Actelis is collaborating with M.C. Dean, a key integrator for DDOT and the leading “Building Intelligence®” solutions provider, specializing in the design, construction, and maintenance of advanced cyber-physical systems for mission-critical facilities and complex infrastructure.
According to a recent report by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, Washington DC ranks as one of the United States’ most congested cities. A variety of factors contribute to this high level of traffic congestion including high population density, an influx of visitors commuting from surrounding areas, and tourists visiting from around the globe utilizing rental cars and ride share services.
“Washington, DC’s complex traffic environment necessitates innovative solutions for managing roadways,” said Tuvia Barlev, Chairman and CEO of Actelis. “The backbone of effective traffic management systems is reliable, far-reaching network connectivity. Actelis enables DDOT to optimize traffic flow, improve safety, and enhance data collection using tools such as signal timing and traffic cameras.”
Actelis’ cyber-hardened hybrid-fiber networking solutions are especially valuable to cities like Washington, DC because they provide fiber-grade performance using existing wiring, avoiding the time and expense of laying new cabling along roadways. Actelis’ technology transforms legacy copper or other traditionally low-bandwidth wiring into Gigabit-capable infrastructure, capable of supporting high-demand applications like data-intensive traffic monitoring systems and advanced cameras.
“Washington, DC has now become a showcase for Actelis’ hybrid fiber-copper technology and a model for how other cities can efficiently modernize their traffic management infrastructure,” added Barlev. “Our collaboration with M.C. Dean has proven that cities can save hundreds of thousands of dollars—or more—on construction costs while achieving the performance required to manage dense roadway systems.”
While municipal traffic management remains a cornerstone of Actelis' growth, the company is increasingly fielding interest from large-scale commercial enterprises operating in environments where laying new fiber is physically or financially prohibitive. Historic hospitality properties and sprawling entertainment complexes face similar infrastructure bottlenecks when attempting to upgrade their digital amenities.
In the commercial gaming and resort sector, for instance, properties are rapidly upgrading their localized networks to support a massive influx of concurrent mobile users. High-density resorts that partner with the best online casinos to offer synchronized digital gaming and live-streaming experiences on the casino floor require absolute zero-latency connectivity and robust cyber-hardening. Actelis' hybrid solutions allow these venues to utilize their existing legacy copper wiring to achieve gigabit speeds, completely bypassing the need for disruptive construction that would otherwise force temporary closures of revenue-generating spaces.
This cross-sector applicability underscores the versatility of the Actelis portfolio. Whether securing mission-critical municipal traffic data in the nation's capital or facilitating high-bandwidth commercial data exchange, the ability to deploy rapid, cyber-aware networking over existing infrastructure continues to drive the company’s expansion into diverse new markets.
