Axon, a global public safety technology company, entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Carbyne, an innovative emergency communications and response platform.

This acquisition represents the next step in Axon’s strategy to modernize every stage of public safety, starting at the first call for help. Carbyne’s cloud-native call-handling platform powers how emergency communications centers (ECCs) receive, route and manage incoming calls.

By bringing together Carbyne’s cloud-native call routing and Prepared by Axon’s AI-driven situational insights, Axon can now deliver a connected and intelligent 911 platform, uniting every stage from call to closure. Together, these capabilities will form Axon 911, a next-generation, fully integrated solution connecting emergency callers, dispatchers and responders with real-time context and clarity. With these capabilities combined, Axon will provide real-time intelligence from the moment a call begins through field response, investigation in Axon Evidence and, ultimately, resolution within the justice system.

“Every year, more than 240 million 911 calls are made in the U.S., and in too many cases, vital information is lost between the call and the response,” said Rick Smith, founder and CEO, Axon. “By uniting Axon’s 30-year legacy of innovation with Carbyne’s cloud-based call management platform, we’re closing that gap, giving call takers and dispatchers instant visibility and connecting them directly to officers in the field. It’s how we transform a call for help into the first moment of intelligence.”

Amir Elichai, founder and CEO, Carbyne, said, “Carbyne was created to modernize how help arrives — by giving emergency professionals the clarity, resilience and confidence they need in critical moments. Joining Axon allows us to scale that mission globally and integrate more deeply into the broader public safety ecosystem. Together, we’ll help agencies save time, reduce uncertainty and improve outcomes for the people and communities they serve.”

The transaction, which values Carbyne at $625 million, is subject to customary closing conditions and expected to close in the first quarter of 2026.
