The projects reflect Ceragon's continued success in expanding its private wireless networks business.

The recent projects span multiple industries and geographies, illustrating the expanding role of private wireless networking across critical infrastructure.

Protecting Public Safety

Ceragon received a PO from Clermont County, Ohio for its Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) initiative. The 11-site project replaces legacy microwave infrastructure with a modern wireless communications network designed to improve the resilience and reliability of mission-critical emergency services.

Ceragon also received a PO from county government in the U.S. Pacific Northwest to modernize an aging P25 public safety communications network, providing a more reliable wireless backbone for first responders operating across challenging mountainous terrain.

In Latin America, Ceragon received an order for a project supporting a major metropolitan emergency and security communications network through consulting, network optimization, and millimeter-wave implementation services, helping expand one of the region's most advanced public safety systems while demonstrating Ceragon's growing professional services capabilities.

Modernizing Essential Infrastructure

A leading U.S. electric utility placed an order for a project supporting Fault Detection, Isolation, and Restoration (FDIR) across more than 1,000 utility assets, enabling faster fault response and improving grid reliability.

Ceragon also received an additional order from a U.S. utility cooperative to modernize legacy microwave infrastructure connecting substations, operations centers, and command facilities, strengthening the communications backbone supporting daily grid operations and future modernization initiatives.

Connecting Communities

A California municipality ordered from Ceragon a project supporting public Wi-Fi connectivity across community parks, helping expand digital access through a resilient wireless network that could be deployed faster and more cost-effectively than traditional wired infrastructure.

Together, these projects demonstrate continued momentum in Ceragon's private networks business, with recent customer wins spanning public safety, utilities, and smart city connectivity.
