~$100,000 L2 Encryption-Enabled Solution to Connect Hundreds of Municipal Sites with Zero Touch Provisioning Capabilities
Actelis Networks, a market leader in cyber-hardened, rapid deployment networking solutions for IoT and broadband applications, announced it has secured a new order valued at approximately $100,000 from a major city in Germany to modernize the city’s urban infrastructure networking capabilities.
The order involves a comprehensive networking project featuring Layer 2 encryption (MACsec) technology to provide seamless broadband connectivity to hundreds of urban infrastructure customer premises equipment (CPE) sites throughout the metropolitan area. The deployment will leverage Actelis’ hybrid fiber-copper networking solutions with advanced zero touch provisioning capabilities, enabling rapid and secure connectivity across the city’s expanding smart city infrastructure.
This major European city’s selection of Actelis reinforces the company’s growing momentum in the European smart city market, following recent successful deployments in Germany, Italy, and the Nordic region. The city’s investment in cyber-secure networking infrastructure demonstrates the critical importance of protected connectivity for urban IoT systems and municipal broadband services.

“We’re proud to partner with this advanced and forward-thinking city in Germany as they upgrade their smart city with secure, high-performance networking infrastructure,” said Tuvia Barlev, Chairman and CEO of Actelis. “This project exemplifies how our hybrid-fiber technology enables cities to rapidly modernize their networks while maintaining the highest levels of cybersecurity. Our encryption and zero touch provisioning capabilities allow municipal operators to deploy and manage hundreds of connection points efficiently, providing the foundation for innovative municipal services.”
Actelis’ solution enables municipalities to achieve fiber-grade performance while leveraging existing copper infrastructure, significantly reducing deployment time and costs compared to traditional fiber installation methods. The 256-bit encryption provides military-grade security essential for protecting municipal networks against cyber threats, while zero touch provisioning capabilities streamline device deployment and management across the distributed urban environment.
This European order continues Actelis’ expanding presence in the intelligent transportation systems and smart city sectors across the continent. European cities are increasingly prioritizing secure, cost-effective networking solutions that can rapidly connect diverse urban infrastructure while providing robust cyber protection for critical municipal systems.
