What Fibernet does

Fibernet Ltd. is an Israeli private company, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Yokneam, that designs and manufactures fiber optic connectivity and hardware cybersecurity solutions for critical infrastructure, defense, telecom, enterprise, medical, and industrial customers. Its core product lines include the STAR high-density data center platform (reducing required data center space up to 70% and supporting migration to 400G/800G), a hardware cybersecurity suite (Secure KVM switches, Blocker Secure Diode, HIVE mobile solution, secure patch cords), and optical-layer physical-security monitoring systems (FiberGuard with sub-second threat detection, Lion's Den passive monitoring up to 25km, FMS, FIBERSAFE). The company also produces specialty fibers, custom assemblies, harsh-environment rotary joints (FORJ), tactical patch cords, and active equipment (AOC/DAC, bypass switches, converters), and serves as Israel's exclusive distributor and service center for Fujikura fusion splicers and AFL test equipment.

The company's business model is a hybrid of direct-manufactured hardware sales and engineering/professional services. Fibernet sells through direct enterprise field sales targeting large organizations, complemented by channel partnerships with telecom system integrators and installers, plus event-driven demand generation through industry venues such as ISE. Engineering services span a 'sketch to production' NPI process including design for manufacturing, supply chain management, and bespoke 'Blue & White' solutions, serving both boutique low-volume high-mix startups (medical device developers) and large-scale production customers. Pricing is inquiry-based with no public list pricing, reflecting a project-based engagement model for institutional and defense buyers. The firm operates its own SMT production lines capable of tens of millions of applications per month with in-house x-ray AOI quality assurance.

Fibernet serves a diversified enterprise and government roster including the Israel Defense Forces, RAFAEL Advanced Defense Systems, Elbit Systems, Bank Hapoalim, Israel Railways, Israel Electric Corporation, Bezeq, Partner Communications, Cellcom, Intel, Cisco, IBM, Motorola, Mellanox (NVIDIA), Applied Materials, KLA-Tencor, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Syneron Candela, Dune Medical, Ornim Medical, BioSense Webster, Landa, CERN, and Weizmann Institute. Leadership is anchored by founder-CEO Avner Aslan and Founder/Senior VP Shon Shmuel. Certifications include MIL-STD-810 for harsh-environment products and ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 11801, and ISO/IEC 27001 for quality and information security.
