WILMINGTON, DE — Acorn Energy Inc. (Nasdaq: ACFN) said it has entered into a strategic partnership with Israel-based AIO Systems Ltd. to market, integrate, and sell advanced infrastructure asset management technology across North America, a move that sharply expands Acorn’s product lineup and long-term growth runway.
Under the agreement, Acorn secured exclusive rights to sell AIO’s cloud-based monitoring and analytics platforms in the United States, Canada, and Mexico under its OmniMetrix brand. The systems, already deployed at more than 110,000 sites across 15 countries outside the U.S., are used to manage critical infrastructure supporting cell towers, data centers, and utilities.
Acorn said it will invest in personnel and operational resources to support the North American rollout, while AIO will provide dedicated account management, marketing support, research and development resources, and market-specific adaptations, including a mobile application and business process tools.
The partnership establishes a revenue-sharing structure under which Acorn and AIO will split monitoring and software-as-a-service revenue evenly after Acorn’s direct costs, with the potential for Acorn’s share to increase as cumulative revenue milestones are met during the initial five-year term. Acorn will also sell AIO hardware solutions under the OmniMetrix brand at most-favored-nation wholesale pricing.
In addition, Acorn secured a right of first refusal for the future purchase of AIO’s South America assets and distribution rights across parts of Latin America. The companies also said they are exploring opportunities for AIO to sell its monitoring technology in certain global markets outside North America.
AIO’s platforms use machine learning and predictive analytics to reduce downtime, improve maintenance efficiency, enhance security, and lower operating costs. The systems monitor a wide range of conditions, including battery health, environmental changes, power supply imbalances, transformer temperatures, microgrid performance, and unauthorized facility access.
AIO has built a substantial presence across Africa, Asia-Pacific, Southeast Asia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, providing Acorn with what executives described as a proven technology stack entering the North American market for the first time at scale.
AIO Founder and Chairman Asher Avissar said the partnership aligns the company’s global technology footprint with OmniMetrix’s established customer base and reputation in remote generator monitoring and control. He said the agreement creates a clear path to building a meaningful North American presence.
Acorn Chief Executive Officer Jan Loeb said the deal positions the company to meet rising demand for data-driven infrastructure management as operators seek to reduce power consumption, theft, environmental risks, and regulatory penalties. Loeb said Acorn plans to initially offer the expanded capabilities to its existing telecommunications customers before broadening outreach to data center, utility, and other fast-growing infrastructure markets.
The company said it does not expect significant revenue contributions from the partnership in the first half of 2026 due to the time and investment required to integrate the new products, but described the agreement as a long-term opportunity to accelerate recurring revenue growth.
