Actelis Networks, maker of cyber-hardened, rapid-deployment networking solutions for IoT and broadband applications, announced it has received a follow-on order from a major North American railway operator to expand its trackside networking infrastructure supporting critical rail safety and control systems.
This follow-on order builds on prior deployments and reflects the ongoing expansion of advanced rail safety and control systems across North American rail networks, where dependable communications infrastructure is a foundational requirement. The new order will support the continued rollout of networking solutions along challenging rail corridors, where reliable connectivity is essential for the operation of advanced safety and signaling systems, including centralized traffic control and other mission-critical applications.
The customer has been deploying Actelis’ solutions across its network over several years and continues to expand its footprint, leveraging Actelis’ centralized management software to remotely monitor, manage, and troubleshoot its distributed trackside infrastructure.
“Rail networks require highly resilient communications systems that can perform reliably across remote and environmentally demanding terrain,” said Tuvia Barlev, chairman and CEO of Actelis. “This follow-on order reflects the customer’s continued confidence in our ability to deliver secure, high-performance connectivity for trackside infrastructure supporting critical safety systems. Modern rail safety systems depend on continuous, secure communication between distributed assets across the network. Our solutions are designed to ensure that these systems operate reliably, even in the most challenging environments, while enabling operators to deploy quickly and cost-effectively.”
The railway selected Actelis’ hybrid fiber networking solution for its ability to deliver fiber-grade performance over existing infrastructure while enabling rapid deployment across extended and remote track environments. The solution maintains reliable connectivity in harsh and variable conditions, supports mission-critical rail control and safety systems, and provides cyber-hardened protection for distributed trackside assets. By leveraging existing infrastructure and integrating fiber and wireless components, Actelis’ hybrid fiber-copper technology allows operators to extend high-bandwidth connectivity along rail lines without the need for costly and time-intensive new fiber installation, ensuring the redundancy and reliability required for safety-critical applications, while supporting both traditional and AI-driven monitoring and network operations.
