Actelis Networks, Inc. announced that it has delivered its cyber-hardened, hybrid-fiber networking devices to a US Naval customer based in the Asia-Pacific region. This is to help the customer modernize its on-base operations, demonstrating the trust the Navy has in the Actelis solutions. The naval base selected the Actelis solution for two main purposes.

The first was to replace low speed, secure legacy 3rd party networking equipment with robust, secure, software managed, weather hardened network switches; the second purpose was to expand its network rapidly by connecting to new locations, further digitizing and protecting its IT infrastructure. The upgraded network will utilize Actelis? extended reach products, providing the capability to extend connectivity over long distances and to hard-to-reach locations.

Military base modernization requires secure and reliable high-speed connectivity to enable voice and data communications for buildings such as barracks, as well as for IoT devices and mission critical systems. Getting this type of connectivity deployed on a military base can involve costly and time-consuming design and engineering services as well as high construction costs. Branches of US military have been expanding their network with Actelis devices because they eliminate most of those costs, and provide immediate fiber-grade connectivity over any existing wireline medium: The hybrid-fiber solution connects over fiber if it is available, and otherwise boosts the performance of bonded copper wiring or coax through to fiber-grade, secure connectivity with Actelis? patented Metalight technology.
