More About Actelis Networks
Actelis Networks focuses on Ethernet-based access networking systems that allow enterprises and public-sector operators to deliver high-speed IP connectivity over a mix of fiber and existing copper infrastructure. Its platforms are used in environments where organizations seek to extend Ethernet and IP services without relying solely on new fiber builds, including municipal, transportation, utilities, education, campus, and industrial deployments.
The company’s portfolio spans network elements that aggregate and transport Ethernet traffic, often categorized as Ethernet access platforms (network infrastructure). These systems are typically installed at central offices, cabinets, or field locations and interconnect with routers, switches, and security appliances from broader enterprise or carrier architectures. Actelis equipment is positioned as part of the access and aggregation layers in multi-tier network topologies, integrating with IP/MPLS cores, Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) overlays, and security perimeters implemented by customers.
Actelis offerings apply technologies associated with Ethernet over copper (access networking) and hybrid fiber-copper architectures, using standards-based protocols to deliver Layer 2 Ethernet and Layer 3 IP services. The platforms support common carrier and enterprise features such as Virtual LAN (VLAN) tagging, Quality of Service (QoS), traffic shaping, and redundancy mechanisms that align with typical enterprise network design practices. Network elements are commonly managed through centralized management software (network management) that offers configuration templates, status monitoring, alarms, and performance statistics to operations teams.
In municipal and smart city scenarios, Actelis systems are deployed to connect devices such as traffic controllers, cameras, sensors, and roadside units, providing secure Ethernet connectivity where fiber is limited or unavailable. For utilities and critical infrastructure, the company’s solutions are used to connect substations, control systems, and field assets, with an emphasis on reliability and deterministic access links that support Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Operational technology (OT) traffic. In campus and industrial environments, Actelis platforms extend network services to remote buildings and facilities while utilizing existing copper cable plants.
Within an enterprise IT and OT directory, Actelis Networks can be categorized under network infrastructure, access networking, and secure networking for critical infrastructure use cases. Its offerings address scenarios where organizations require Ethernet and IP connectivity over mixed media environments, with tooling for centralized management and integration into broader IP routing, security, and observability stacks already in place.
