Carbyne, an Israel based innovator in emergency response technology, has raised $100 million in a funding round spearheaded by AT&T, boosting its total capital to approximately $236 million.
The company’s cloud native platform revolutionizes how emergency call centers operate, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver real time, data-driven solutions that save lives. With its app-free 911 system, Carbyne is redefining public safety on a global scale.
Innovative Technology at the Core
Carbyne provides two flagship solutions designed to modernize emergency response:
APEX Platform: A comprehensive, AI-powered system that unifies data from multiple sources such as caller location, live video, and audio into a single interface. This enables dispatchers to make faster, more informed decisions. Notably, its “breadcrumb technology” tracks moving vehicles in real time, a game-changer for emergencies in remote or high-traffic areas like national parks.
Universe OTT Solution: A flexible overlay that integrates advanced features into existing call center systems without requiring a complete overhaul. It offers real time translation, transcription, and multimedia capabilities, ensuring seamless communication even in complex scenarios.
Standout Features:
App-Free Access: Callers can connect with emergency services via internet-enabled devices without downloading an app, making the system accessible in critical moments.
Multimedia Integration: Live video, silent chat, and text-based communication support diverse needs, such as assisting hearing-impaired individuals or those in situations where speaking is unsafe.
AI-Powered Tools: Automated translation and transcription break language barriers, while algorithms manage call surges to prevent system overload during crises.
Precision Location Tracking: Unlike traditional 911 systems, Carbyne’s platform pinpoints caller locations with centimeter-level accuracy, processing over 250 million data points annually to guide responders efficiently.
Global Reach and Key Clients
Carbyne serves a diverse range of clients across the globe:v
Israel: Major municipalities like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem rely on Carbyne’s platform for efficient emergency management. United Hatzalah, Israel’s largest volunteer EMS organization, adopted the APEX platform in August 2024 to support its 6,500+ volunteers, enhancing scalability and response times.
United States: The Tularosa Basin Regional Dispatch Authority in New Mexico (March 2025) uses Carbyne’s location tracking capabilities to manage emergencies in tourist-heavy regions. Similarly, Ohio’s Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office (December 2024) leverages the platform’s AI-driven translation and multimedia tools to streamline operations.
Worldwide Operations: Based in New York, Carbyne maintains research, development, and sales hubs in Tel Aviv, Mexico, India, and Ukraine, delivering its solutions to emergency centers globally.
Purpose of the Funding
The $100 million investment will fuel Carbyne’s mission to expand its app-free 911 platform and enhance its AI capabilities.
The company aims to bring its cutting-edge technology to more regions, focusing on features like call surge management and advanced data analytics to optimize crisis response.
By refining tools like breadcrumb tracking, Carbyne seeks to address challenges in dynamic environments, from urban hubs to rural landscapes.
Industry Context
Carbyne’s milestone is part of a broader wave of investment in Israeli tech in 2025. Other notable funding rounds include Speedata ($44M for chip technology), Zero Networks ($55M for cybersecurity), and Classiq ($110M for quantum computing).
Despite a reported 45% decline in new Israeli tech startups over the past decade, according to Haaretz, companies like Carbyne demonstrate the sector’s resilience, particularly in high-impact fields like public safety and AI.
