Zorronet Secures Additional Order from Major Israeli Defense Organization to Extend Range of Autonomous Systems

Existing defense customer expands use of Zorronet technology with new antenna order designed to enable operators to control aerial and ground systems over extended distances

NETANYA, Israel, Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tessera Defense and Homeland Security Inc. (NYSE American: HLSQ) ("Tessera" or the "Company"), today announced that its subsidiary, Zorronet Ltd. ("Zorronet"), has received an additional order from a major Israeli defense organization for third-party antenna systems to be integrated with the Zorronet system previously purchased by the customer. The new order forms part of a pilot project that will enable operators to communicate with and control autonomous aerial and ground systems over extended distances.

This combination of hardware and software is designed to maintain reliable communications, real-time visibility, and the ability to control when platforms are deployed far from their operators, including in challenging field conditions.

This is Zorronet's first pilot combining extended-range antennas with its autonomous system in a complete solution that integrates communications, processing and control. The additional purchase by an existing customer demonstrates the potential for Zorronet to expand its commercial relationships by supplying complementary third-party hardware integrated with its existing technology.

The deal will also enable Zorronet to demonstrate its hardware integration capabilities in an operational setting, and could lead to additional projects involving autonomous systems, distributed operations and extended-range command and control.

"This deal marks an important step for Zorronet as we expand beyond providing our software system to supplying autonomous solutions that include both hardware and software," said Idan Wasserman, CEO of Zorronet. "Our ability to integrate our technology with third-party antennas, drones, and ground robots, allows us to offer defense organizations a more complete and flexible solution tailored to their needs. More importantly, we have moved beyond proofs of concept. Our technology is already operating in the field, and we are demonstrating its capabilities alongside our customers in real conditions."

"This project represents an important step in expanding Zorronet's role in the defense industry," said Michael Oster, CEO of Tessera. "The fact that an existing defense customer is expanding its relationship with Zorronet to include additional hardware demonstrates the potential to build on our installed customer base. By integrating third-party communications equipment with our technology, we can offer customers more comprehensive solutions tailored to their operational needs. We believe this approach can open new business opportunities, strengthen relationships with major defense organizations and position Zorronet to participate in larger, more comprehensive defense programs."
