Actelis Networks has announced that it has received a new order for its cyber-hardened temperature hardened networking technology for a major Italian motorways operator. This order is an expansion of an order previously announced in June for an Italian National Transportation Infrastructure Project of over US$300,000.“We’re excited to see our continued growth in the Intelligent Transportation space and proud to play a key role in enhancing road safety,” said Tuvia Barlev, the chairman and CEO of Actelis. “These new orders from Italy highlight both the effectiveness of our solution and the trust major transportation operators place in Actelis.”

Roadway safety is the top priority for the Italian operator, and Actelis’ solution enables rapid modernisation of their network infrastructure, expanding the use of critical safety tools like CCTV, speed cameras, sensors and digital signage. Covering thousands of miles of roadways presents challenges, as these devices demand fast, secure and reliable connectivity over long distances. Existing motorway wiring often falls short of handling the high data demands, which is why operators rely on Actelis for enhanced bandwidth and performance.

Actelis’ solution uses existing network wiring—whether fibre, copper, or coax—to deliver fiber-grade connectivity over long distances without the high costs and resource demands of installing new cabling. Designed for roadside deployment, Actelis devices operate reliably in any climate, transmitting critical data to traffic operations centers to enable real-time decision-making, improve public messaging, manage traffic flow and enhance overall safety.

Although Actelis continues to grow in the ITS market, the company is no stranger to large motorway projects. In addition to the Italian motorways, Actelis’ solutions are deployed across thousands of miles of highways in the United Kingdom and Japan, where operators use its hybrid-fiber networking technology to provide long-distance connectivity in networks that combine fibre and copper wiring. Actelis devices are also used in cities worldwide at traffic intersections to optimise signal timing, enhance traffic flow and improve safety for motorists, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists.
