BATM

Batm Advanced Communications Ltd.

A maker of networking, cybersecurity, and medical-diagnostics gear, BATM builds telecom edge equipment, quantum-resistant encryption, and lab tools for molecular testing. Founded in 1992 by Zvi Marom and Gershon Baras, its name comes from the founders' surnames—Baras Advanced Technologies Marom—and it listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1999. The name rhymes with "bat," a coincidence that invites plenty of puns but is purely an acronym.
