Sunnyvale, Calif., April 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Actelis Networks, Inc. (OTC: ASNS) ("Actelis" or the "Company"), a market leader in cyber-hardened, rapid-deployment networking solutions for IoT and broadband applications, today announced that it has received an order to supply its hybrid fiber-copper networking solution for an intelligent transportation system ("ITS") project for the Alaska State Department of Transportation. The order, placed through one of Actelis' long-standing partners, supports the modernization of traffic signal and cabinet infrastructure in the Anchorage area.

"Our growing list of U.S. state,county and municipal transportation customers includes the State of Alaska and is another meaningful step in the continuous nationwide adoption of our technology," said Tuvia Barlev, Chairman and CEO of Actelis. "From Caltrans in California, to the Washington, D.C. Department of Transportation, to Orange and Ventura counties, Seattle, Eugene, the City of Cincinnati, and others, and now the Alaska State Department of Transportation, transportation authorities at every level of government are standardizing on our hybrid fiber-copper approach because it delivers immediate, cyber-hardened, fiber-grade performance over existing infrastructure - at a fraction of the time and cost of new fiber builds. Alaska's operating environment, with its extreme weather and vast, distributed road network, is exactly where our technology shines."

Actelis' hybrid-fiber networking solutions allow transportation agencies to achieve fiber-grade connectivity over their existing wiring, significantly reducing deployment time and cost while supporting modern ITS applications such as adaptive signal control, traffic cameras, and roadside sensors. The solutions are environmentally hardened for demanding outdoor conditions and include cyber-protection capabilities designed to defend critical infrastructure against a rising threat landscape. Alaska's Department of Transportation and Public Facilities maintains an active statewide ITS program and continues to advance Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) initiatives - including intersection safety, signal modernization, and corridor upgrades - aligned with broader U.S. investments in smart transportation, a market that is projected to grow to $48.5 billion by 2034. 1

This order extends Actelis' multi-year collaboration with a key partner, which has been instrumental in introducing the Company's technology to leading transportation authorities across the United States. Actelis believes this continued momentum across U.S. state, county, and municipal transportation customers reinforces its position as a trusted provider of critical networking infrastructure for intelligent transportation systems nationwide.
