Actelis Networks, a U.S.-based specialist in hybrid fiber-copper networking solutions, has received a new, follow-on order to expand its existing deployment in Hungary. The additional contract builds on the company’s previous engagement with a major Hungarian utility provider first announced in October 2023. The utility, which relied on Actelis for high-speed communications across its operational sites, is now broadening the scope of that deployment.
This recent follow-on order centers on strengthening the utility’s critical infrastructure, allowing for expanded fiber-grade connectivity while leveraging existing infrastructure. According to Actelis, the approach delivers secure and scalable transmissions, essential for monitoring grid operations and ensuring real-time control.
“We are pleased to continue supporting the digital transformation of Hungary’s energy sector,” said Actelis Chairman and CEO, Tuvia Barlev. “This follow-on order underscores the continuous trust our customers place in Actelis to deliver secure, resilient, and rapidly deployable networking solutions that meet the demands of modern utility operations.”
The latest deployment further illustrates Actelis’ broader business focus on cost-effective modernization in sectors such as transportation, government, and the military. Under its “Cyber Aware Networking” initiative, the company has also been incorporating AI-based cyber monitoring into its hybrid fiber-copper solutions. This strategy aims to offer robust protection for edge devices while maintaining flexibility, a concept increasingly relevant as both public and private entities look to upgrade aging infrastructure without committing to costly, extensive fiber overhauls.
The Hungarian utility project follows a series of notable announcements from Actelis in recent months. In February, the company revealed that it had secured an order to modernize traffic signal communications across Ventura County, California. That countywide initiative involves installing advanced Actelis networking technology for secure data exchange between traffic management centers and signalized intersections. The system upgrade aims to reduce congestion and bolster road safety by providing high-speed, reliable connectivity.
In addition to infrastructure deployments, Actelis has also enhanced its leadership ranks. The company appointed industry expert Julie Kunstler as an independent director in February. Kunstler brought decades of experience in broadband access and cybersecurity, reflecting Actelis’ commitment to navigating evolving global requirements for secure networking. Shortly before that, the company welcomed Dr. Niel Ransom, another recognized leader in networking technology, to its Board of Directors. Each addition to the board has signaled a steady movement toward focusing on secure, high-performance solutions for utilities, smart cities, and government networks.
Actelis has emphasized that its hybrid fiber-copper approach offers significant cost advantages while making it faster to deploy than pure-fiber alternatives. By utilizing existing copper infrastructure and layering fiber where needed, organizations can scale connectivity without facing the full burden of new construction. This model is particularly attractive for industries managing remote or distributed sites, such as power grids or expansive transportation networks.
Hungary’s utility sector, similar to others across Europe, is undergoing a modernization wave designed to bolster resilience and digital integration. As officials and energy suppliers make new investments in communications networks, cybersecurity is becoming a central focus. Actelis’ technology is intended to help safeguard these mission-critical connections, enabling real-time operation of various assets such as substations, field sensors, and diagnostic equipment.
With the follow-on order in Hungary, Actelis continues to collect momentum in what it describes as a push to expand the specialized networking capabilities needed for infrastructure modernization. According to Barlev, “the demands of modern utility operations” hinge on a blend of speed, security, and reliability. By integrating advanced encryption and AI-based threat detection, Actelis aims to protect data from potential compromises while maintaining an uninterrupted flow of information.
The company’s latest Hungarian roll-out is poised to reinforce existing utility systems and allow for an easier pathway to subsequent phases of modernization. As more national infrastructure projects shift toward integrated digital systems, secure communications are anticipated to be at the heart of each expansion. Actelis, having already established a presence in other utility, government, and military contexts, often points to that track record when winning new work.
Hungary’s utility sector represents another example where Actelis can apply its connectivity solutions to reduce technical obstacles. By drawing from a combination of fiber and copper lines, the company’s approach paves the way for rapid deployment, ensuring that vital connections are established without the time and expense of replacing entrenched cabling.
As this modernized network comes online, the Hungarian utility will reserve the ability to transmit, monitor, and analyze data with higher levels of speed and accuracy. Actelis’ focus on cybersecurity also adds a layer of resilience, a feature increasingly sought by operators moving toward advanced digital management of their grid systems.
