Actelis Networks Inc (NASDAQ:ASNS) shares surged 42% Tuesday after the company announced it had secured a $0.5 million contract from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to supply advanced hybrid-fiber networking solutions for the modernization of critical air traffic control systems.
The order is part of the FAA’s larger infrastructure upgrade program, following Congress’s approval of $12.5 billion in dedicated funding through legislation signed in July 2025, with $4.75 billion earmarked specifically for telecommunications improvements.
Actelis’ hybrid-fiber technology allows the FAA to implement infrastructure upgrades without the high costs and delays typically associated with laying new fiber. The solutions are compatible with existing copper, coaxial, and fiber networks, delivering encrypted, cyber-secure connectivity that meets federal aviation security standards.
“This order validates Actelis’ critical role in modernizing America’s air traffic control infrastructure,” said Tuvia Barlev, Chairman and CEO of Actelis Networks. “Recent communication disruptions at major airports have highlighted the urgent need for reliable, cyber-secure networking solutions that can deliver immediate improvements without requiring complete infrastructure overhauls.”
The contract further strengthens Actelis’ ongoing relationship with the FAA, which began in 2020, and was facilitated through its partnership with IP Integration, a provider of technology solutions for federal agencies.
Actelis Networks positions itself as a leader in rapid-deployment, cyber-hardened networking solutions for IoT and broadband applications.
