Key Terms

ng9-1-1, millimeter-wave, fault detection, isolation, and restoration
3 terms
ng9-1-1 technical
"Ceragon received a PO from Clermont County, Ohio for its Next Generation 9-1-1"
A next-generation 9-1-1 (ng9-1-1) system is an upgraded, internet-style emergency communications network that lets callers send voice, text, photos, video and precise location data to public safety agencies. For investors, it matters because upgrading public safety infrastructure creates opportunities and risks for providers of routing software, networking gear, cybersecurity and ongoing maintenance—similar to replacing an old landline system with a smartphone platform that needs new hardware, software and services.
millimeter-wave technical
"network optimization, and millimeter-wave implementation services"
Millimeter-wave is a band of radio frequencies with very short wavelengths—about one to ten millimeters—used for extremely fast, short-range wireless transmission. Think of it as a higher-pitched radio signal that can carry a lot more data but doesn’t travel as far or through walls as well as lower-frequency signals. Investors care because millimeter-wave technology underpins high-speed wireless networks, radar and sensors, and touches telecom equipment, semiconductor suppliers, and infrastructure spending, so its adoption can drive revenue and regulatory decisions.
fault detection, isolation, and restoration technical
"supporting Fault Detection, Isolation, and Restoration (FDIR)"
A set of automated processes and tools that detect equipment or system problems, identify which component failed, and take steps to restore normal operation or reroute functions. Think of it like a building’s smoke alarm that not only senses smoke, pinpoints the room, and triggers sprinklers or closes vents, but for industrial, IT, or energy systems; it matters to investors because it affects reliability, downtime, maintenance costs, and regulatory compliance, which influence operational performance and cash flow.

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.
