Axon to Acquire Carbyne in a $625 Million Deal

Axon (Nasdaq: AXON) has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Carbyne, the Israeli company whose next-generation emergency communications platform serves hundreds of agencies protecting more than 250 million people worldwide.
The deal is valued at approximately $625 million and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026.

The acquisition marks a major step in Axon’s strategy to modernize public safety from the very first call for help. By integrating Carbyne’s cloud-based technology with Axon’s connected devices and AI-driven capabilities, the companies will launch Axon 911 — a unified, next-generation platform enabling seamless real-time communication between callers, dispatchers, and first responders, improving situational awareness and response times.

According to Axon Founder and CEO Rick Smith, “Every year, more than 240 million 911 calls are made in the U.S., and vital information often gets lost in transit. Together with Carbyne, we’re closing that gap and turning every call for help into the first moment of intelligence.”
Amir Elichai, Founder and CEO of Carbyne, said the merger will “allow us to expand our impact globally and help emergency agencies operate faster, more clearly, and with greater confidence.”

Founded in Israel, Carbyne developed a cloud-native, AI-based platform for managing emergency calls that includes live video, real-time transcription and translation, and intelligent tools for event coordination and decision-making.
