OneLayer to Secure Koch Industries Private Cellular Network Site Alongside $6.5M Investment

At a time when manufacturing facilities are increasingly implementing LTE and 5G networks, OneLayer addresses the need for enterprise-grade security ensuring organizations achieve the return on investment expected from their private networks

OneLayer, a leading provider of enterprise security for private LTE and 5G networks, announced today a $6.5 million equity investment from Koch Disruptive Technologies (KDT), the venture capital arm of Koch Industries. Alongside the investment, OneLayer will secure the private LTE network of a site of a manufacturing subsidiary of Koch Industries. The investment brings the total funds raised by OneLayer to more than $14.5 million.


OneLayer’s solution provides visibility, context-based segmentation policies, and a zero-trust security approach for both IT and OT devices that are connected to private cellular networks. OneLayer delivers this end-to-end security across the private cellular network by integrating with the cellular packet core and the IT network firewalls, asset management tools, and other existing security solutions. Koch Industries is exploring the use of private cellular networks to enable connectivity for autonomous vehicles with real-time compute demands over high bandwidth and coverage for laptops and tablets, enabling predictable coverage for IT and OT devices.

KDT’s investment will be used to address the growing demand for OneLayer’s Security Platform in multiple verticals, enhance the company’s cyber lab capabilities, expand the company’s commercial reach through its global ecosystem and channel partners, and fuel the company’s overall sales and marketing efforts. 

“Private cellular networks introduce new technologies and potential threat vectors that could impact our business. We want to enable the benefits of cellular networks while maintaining visibility and segmentation policies in a zero-trust model,” said Matthew Stucky, enterprise security architect at Koch Industries. “We look forward to working with OneLayer to build security into our cellular network while optimizing business outcomes.”

“IoT and OT networks are transforming. Companies committed to modernizing their operations, maximizing efficiency, and limiting latency will be installing private cellular networks to gain the benefits that 5G networks provide,” said Eli Groner, Managing Director at KDT. “Transformation in the network architecture requires transforming the security approach, and we are excited to partner with OneLayer.”

“The future of manufacturing will stem from the successful implementation of LTE and 5G networks, and we are confident that our security platform will contribute to this success,” said Dave Mor, CEO, and Co-Founder of OneLayer.  “We are very excited about the partnership with Koch Industries as they continue to accelerate their digital transformation.”

An unsolicited offer from Perplexity to acquire Googles Chrome raises immediate questions about antitrust remedies, AI distribution, and who controls the internets primary access point. Perplexity has proposed a $34.5 billion cash acquisition of Chrome and says backers are lined up to fund the deal despite the startups significantly smaller balance sheet and an estimated $18 billion valuation in recent fundraising. The bid includes commitments to keep Chromium open source, invest an additional $3 billion in the codebase, and preserve current user defaults including leaving Google as the default search engine. The timing aligns with a U.S. Department of Justice push for structural remedies after a court found Google maintained an illegal search monopoly, with a Chrome divestiture floated as a central remedy.
South Korea’s government and its three national carriers are aligning fresh capital to speed AI and semiconductor competitiveness and to anchor a private-led innovation flywheel. SK Telecom, KT, and LG Uplus will seed a new pool exceeding 300 billion won (about $219 million) via the Korea IT Fund (KIF) to back core and foundational AI, AI transformation (AX), and commercialization in ICT. KIF, formed in 2002 by the carriers, will receive 150 billion won in new commitments, matched by at least an equal amount from external fund managers. The platforms lifespan has been extended to 2040 to sustain long-cycle bets.
A new joint solution from Rohde & Schwarz (R&S) and the Taiwan Space Agency (TASA) consolidates electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and antenna measurements into a single, production-grade test chamber, signaling a shift in how satellite payloads will be validated for Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) and mission-critical services. By integrating both disciplines in one chamber, TASA can validate RF performance, emissions, and immunity under consistent test conditions and configurations, improving time-to-launch and de-risking interoperability with terrestrial networks. The TASA deployment combines R&S hardware, software, and engineering with a locally built Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) reflector to achieve dual-mode EMC and antenna measurements in one chamber.
NTT DATA and Google Cloud expanded their global partnership to speed the adoption of agentic AI and cloud-native modernization across regulated and dataintensive industries. The push emphasizes sovereign cloud options using Google Distributed Cloud, with both airgapped and connected deployments to meet data residency and regulatory needs without stalling innovation. The partners plan to build industry-specific agentic AI solutions on Google Agent space and Gemini models, underpinned by secure data clean rooms and modernized data platforms. NTT DATA is standing up a dedicated Google Cloud Business Group with thousands of engineers and aims to certify 5,000 practitioners to accelerate delivery, migrations, and managed services.
Lumen surpassing 1,000 customers on its Network-as-a-Service platform is a clear marker for where enterprise networking is headed. AI adoption, multi-cloud architectures, and distributed applications are pushing organizations toward on-demand, software-driven connectivity. Lumens platform bundles three core service types under a single digital experience. The platform integrates with major hyperscalers, enabling direct paths to AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. All can be provisioned self-service, scaled up or down based on demand, and stitched to cloud regions and third-party data centers via cloud on-ramps.
Vietnam is entering the hyperscale AI data center map, with VNPT and LG CNS positioning to meet local and regional demand. For telecom operators and enterprises, now is the time to align AI roadmaps with data center strategy: plan for high-density racks and liquid cooling, secure GPU capacity, engineer diverse connectivity, and build energy resilience. As the regions AI infrastructure forms, those who co-design workload placement, interconnect, and power from the outset will gain durable cost and performance advantages.
