SUNNYVALE, CA / January 23, 2025 / Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) (“Ondas” or the “Company”), a leading provider of private industrial wireless networks and commercial drone and automated data solutions, announced today that Markus Nottelmann has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer at Ondas Networks Inc. (“Ondas Networks”). Mr. Nottelmann, an Ondas Networks board member, has served as a Senior Advisor at Ondas Holdings since October 2024 where he has primarily focused on advancing commercial development and strategic activity at Ondas Networks.

 

Mr. Nottelmann has extensive experience introducing new technologies into railroad markets and an accomplished background as a strategic financial and operating executive. An executive with a wealth of experience, Mr. Nottelmann has held various financial and operating roles including leadership positions with Sperry Rail Service and Acuren Inspections, both subsidiaries of Rockwood Holdings, LP, as well as Furmanite Inc. and DMA S.r.l. Since 2020, Mr. Nottelmann has been applying his broad experience as strategic CFO, leading several companies through strategic assessments, transformations, and acquisitions.      “I am excited to join Ondas Networks as CEO to advance the business at this promising juncture in the technological evolution of the rail ecosystem,” said Mr. Nottelmann. “Since October, I’ve worked closely with the talented management teams both at Ondas Networks and Ondas Holdings and have experienced first-hand the exceptional technology and strategic value that has been created here. As we drive adoption of our dot16 wireless connectivity platform and deliver for our customers and industry partners, our pipeline of opportunities continues to grow.”   “I am happy to see Markus take the CEO role at Ondas Networks,” said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas Holdings. “He has demonstrated financial and strategic acumen and leadership skills and is well placed to drive tangible value at Ondas Networks for customers and investors. His appointment comes at a critical time as we look to drive adoption of our dot16 wireless connectivity platform and monetize the significant investments we have made in technology and market development.”

 

About Ondas Holdings Inc. 

 

Ondas Holdings Inc. (“Ondas”) is a leading provider of private wireless data solutions via Ondas Networks Inc. (“Ondas Networks”) and commercial drone solutions through Ondas Autonomous Systems Inc. via its wholly owned subsidiaries American Robotics, Inc. (“American Robotics” or “AR”) and Airobotics LTD (“Airobotics”), which we operate as a separate business unit called Ondas Autonomous Systems. 

 

 

Ondas Networks is a developer of proprietary, software-based wireless broadband technology for large established and emerging commercial and government markets. Ondas Networks’ standards-based (802.16s), multi-patented, software-defined radio FullMAX platform enables Mission-Critical IoT (MC-IoT) applications by overcoming the bandwidth limitations of today’s legacy private licensed wireless networks. Ondas Networks’ customer end markets include railroads, utilities, oil and gas, transportation, aviation (including drone operators) and government entities whose demands span a wide range of mission critical applications.

 

Ondas Autonomous Systems Inc. (OAS) specializes in designing, developing, and marketing autonomous drone solutions via its two advanced drone platforms: the Optimus System, the world’s first FAA-certified small UAS (sUAS) for aerial security and data capture, and the Iron Drone Raider, a counter-drone system designed to combat hostile drones. Both platforms are highly automated, AI-powered, and capable of continuous, remote operation for critical defense, infrastructure, industrial, and government applications. American Robotics and Airobotics have achieved industry-leading regulatory milestones, including the first-ever FAA Type Certification for the Optimus System and the first drone system approved by the FAA for automated beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations without an on-site human operator.
