Wrapping up a busy 2024, ACSL looks to increase US SOTEN unit shipments from hundreds to thousands in 2025
Santa Clara, California – January 30, 2025, – ACSL, Inc (ACSL), the leading Japanese drone maker, is pleased to announce a new partnership with Exertis Almo, a leading North American specialist distributor, to help with growing interest around ACSL’s flagship SOTEN drone. Exertis Almo, recognized for its expansive distribution network and value-added services, will play a crucial role in expanding SOTEN’s availability across North America. The partnership will leverage Exertis Almo’s expertise to provide comprehensive distribution, support, and training to a growing UAS dealer base.
2024 was a defining year for ACSL, marked by numerous SOTEN deployments, significant product updates, and the announcement of a new thermal camera and smart controller. These developments showcased ACSL’s commitment to progress and its focus on enhancing the capabilities of its UAS products to meet diverse industry needs. As the need for trusted, NDAA compliant systems grows, ACSL has quickly become a highly capable option for pilots and organizations to consider.
“ACSL is deeply committed to understanding and meeting the unique needs of the U.S. drone market. We’ve spent considerable time in the field since our initial launch into the US, learning from our users, and continuously improving our systems based on their feedback,” said Cynthia Huang, CEO of ACSL, Inc. “Our partnership with Exertis Almo marks a significant step forward in bringing our advanced UAS solutions to a broader audience.”
Exertis Almo is North America’s largest Pro AV distributor, delivering customized business development strategies, programs and educational events that enable partners to thrive. With a highly-accomplished leadership team, more than 300 employees, 12 distribution facilities, and 2.7 million square feet of highly-automated warehousing space, Exertis Almo will be a key partner in helping ACSL scale accordingly.
“Collaborating with ACSL to bring the flagship SOTEN drone to our partner network is an important opportunity,” said Eric Jameson, Business Development Manager, Drone Solutions, Exertis Almo. “ACSL’s NDAA/TAA-compliant drones provide versatile usage for inspection, surveying and surveillance across industries such as energy, public safety, and agriculture. As the leading trade-only distributor in the drone industry, Exertis Almo is committed to supporting integrators in navigating this growing market. We look forward to showcasing the SOTEN drone this spring at the Exertis Almo E4 Experience training and AV tech expos in Dallas and New Jersey.”
2025 will be another important year for ACSL as it continues to support the US drone market. This new partnership is the first step to expanding SOTEN availability and the company will also begin shipping its anticipated 640 radiometric thermal camera system in the Spring of this year. More recent firmware updates also focused on improving gimbal stability and video quality by optimizing motion-sensing algorithms, strengthening gimbal motor compensation, and improving the electronic image stabilization. The result is noticeably smoother live video from the aircraft and recorded footage. ACSL plans to continue its commitment to the market with a host of additional key product and feature updates throughout the rest of 2025.
