The order will deploy MetaLight systems in transportation networks, utilities, and public safety systems. Actelis said its MetaLight technology can deliver fiber-like network speeds without installing new fiber, enabling organizations to upgrade their digital infrastructure using existing copper wiring.

“Governments and defense-adjacent organizations in Japan are increasingly prioritizing secure, rapid-deployment networking for their most critical assets -- and Actelis is uniquely positioned to serve this need,” said Tuvia Barlev, Chairman and CEO of Actelis Networks.

$100,000 Railway Order In Japan

The latest deal builds on its $100,000 order received in November 2025, when Actelis partnered with a Japanese railway operator to supply networking technology using its hybrid fiber solutions for rail infrastructure upgrades.

Apart from Japan, the company has received multiple orders from customers across the United States and Europe, including Germany and the U.K. Earlier this month, the company secured an order to supply its hybrid fiber-copper networking solution for a California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) infrastructure modernization project.

Prior to that, Actelis received a follow-on order worth $150,000 from a European natural gas transmission system operator, where it first deployed its technology in October 2023.
