What silynx does
Silynx Communications, Inc. (NYSE American: SYNX) is an Israeli-headquartered (Netanya) manufacturer of ruggedized tactical communication headsets and in-ear hearing protection systems, incorporated in Delaware, USA and founded in 2005. The company's product architecture is built around a modular ecosystem: interchangeable in-ear or over-the-ear headsets (PROTEGO PRO, STD, SNG, MLD, PLT, SDR), multi-radio PTT controllers (CLARUS I, CLARUS II, FORTIS), and radio-specific cable adapters joined through a proprietary Quick Disconnect Connector (QDC). Core proprietary technology includes "Talking from the Ear" — an in-ear microphone that captures voice from the inner auditory echo without an external boom — combined with "Hear-Thru" ambient sound amplification, frequency-targeted drone detection, and MIL-STD-810G / IP68 durability certifications. Sub-brands span single-sided tactical headsets (FALCON, HSI, EAGLE), active hearing protection (CLARUS PRO X, SALVUS OTE), and wireless/wired PTT accessories, supported by joint developments with 3M Peltor and Sordin.
The company sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales to ministries of defense, military procurement bodies, and law enforcement agencies globally, complemented by an international network of agents and resellers covering more than 150 countries. Revenue is generated from hardware sales of headsets, controllers, and cable adapters, plus maintenance and support contracts under framework agreements, with a complementary distribution line for 3M PELTOR ComTac VIII products via a 2024 channel partnership. Pricing is quote-based on multi-year government contracts, with no public price disclosure. Primary customer segments are military and law enforcement, with secondary verticals in shooting sport, industrial, and riot control. Israel contributed approximately 74% of FY2025 revenue, with active deployments across the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America, and products in service in over 40 countries. FY2024 revenue was a record $9.1 million (18% year-over-year growth), but FY2025 revenue declined to $5.8 million; the company ended 2025 with $2.98 million in cash and $5.43 million in shareholders' equity after a $2.9 million underwritten public offering in April 2025. As of April 30, 2026, reported backlog stood at $7.3 million, already exceeding full-year 2025 revenue.

silynx partnerships and signals
Strategic signalPartnerships
Three partnerships are on record, tiered core.
- 3M CompanycoreSilynxcom Ltd. partnered with 3M Company to distribute PELTOR ComTac VIII tactical communication headsets for riot-control operations. The partnership enables Silynx to offer 3M PELTOR products alongside its own Silynx systems, expanding product offerings for law enforcement and riot control applications. The PELTOR ComTac VIII is integrated with Silynx's modular system via Silynx's Quick Disconnect Connector (QDC) to provide power from the radio device battery.
- SordincoreSilynx jointly developed with Sordin the Protego SDR tactical Over-The-Ears (OTE) sound protection headset. The partnership combines Sordin's traditional OTE headset form factor with Silynx's audio integration technology. The Protego SDR connects to Silynx PTT/Control systems via the Silynx Quick Disconnect Connector (QDC), drawing power from the radio device battery without relying on internal batteries.
- 3M PeltorcoreSilynx is a 3M Peltor converter partner authorized to convert Peltor ComTac Over-The-Ear (OTE) sound protection headsets (including ComTac XPI, ComTac V, and ComTac VIII) to integrate with Silynx technology via the Silynx Quick Disconnect Connector (QDC). The converted PROTEGO PLT headsets draw power from the radio device battery, enabling longer operating time and eliminating internal battery replacement needs.
