This marks an important step not only for both companies, but also for the future of networking infrastructure. As AI adoption accelerates across industries, the market needs more than isolated products. It needs integrated, secure, high-performance architectures that can connect the edge, aggregation layers, and AI data center environments into one cohesive network. 

That is exactly the opportunity behind this combination. 

Exaware has built a strong position in high-throughput routing, switching, and open networking platforms designed for AI and compute data centers, as well as telecom environments including aggregation, access, and peering. Actelis brings secure, fiber-grade, cyber-hardened connectivity solutions that extend deep into edge and critical infrastructure environments. 

Together, the two companies are positioned to create a rare, end-to-end networking platform that spans the full infrastructure stack — from IoT edge to AI data center core. 

Why this matters  The next generation of infrastructure is being shaped by AI. Networks are expected to carry more traffic, support more distributed workloads, and operate with greater speed, resilience, and security than ever before. Enterprises, telecom operators, defense organizations, and infrastructure providers are all facing the same challenge: how to modernize quickly without sacrificing performance or control. 

By bringing together Exaware’s data center and telecom networking expertise with Actelis’ secure edge connectivity capabilities, this combination is designed to address that challenge directly.  The combined platform is expected to deliver: 

• A unified multi-layer architecture from edge to aggregation to data center  

• End-to-end networking capabilities for modern data center environments  

• Carrier-grade performance at cloud scale  

• Cost-effective and rapid deployment for AI-driven infrastructure  

• Cyber-hardened connectivity for telecom, enterprise, defense, and critical infrastructure use cases  

  
  

A stronger platform for modern networking 

This announcement reflects a larger market shift. AI is no longer limited to centralized environments — it is reshaping the full network, from edge devices and distributed sites to backbone infrastructure and high-performance data centers. 

In this new environment, networking platforms must do more than transport traffic. They must support automation, scale efficiently, protect critical systems, and enable fast deployment across diverse environments. 

The planned combination of Exaware and Actelis is intended to answer that need with a broader and more integrated approach to network architecture. 

Leadership perspective 

Ronen Hovav, CEO of Exaware, commented:  “Combining our platforms with Actelis’ secure edge solutions creates a powerful, highly cost-effective, end-to-end architecture—positioned to lead the next wave of AI-driven connectivity transformation across the entire network stack.” 

Looking ahead  For Exaware, this is more than a transaction announcement. It is a strategic step toward expanding the company’s impact in the networking market and helping customers build infrastructure ready for the AI era. 

As demand continues to grow for high-performance, secure, and scalable networking across data center, telecom, and edge environments, Exaware believes this combination will create a stronger foundation for innovation and long-term growth.
