Peraso supplies components that equipment makers use to build high-speed wireless links, including fixed wireless access systems that deliver internet service over radio connections. Its focus is 60 GHz products for spectrum that does not require a license. Customers include Ubiquiti, which uses Peraso as its sole supplier of millimeter-wave chips for Wave products, and wireless internet providers, particularly in Africa. Its antenna modules combine its chips and antenna technology in one device. Product sales generate nearly all revenue; engineering services and intellectual-property licensing contribute much less.
Peraso outsources manufacturing, assembly, packaging and testing. Sales depend on customers incorporating its components into equipment that reaches volume production and sells successfully. Customers buy through individual purchase orders rather than long-term commitments, and a few customers, including UI Limited, account for most revenue. Peraso has ended its former memory-chip product line and has not yet sold its developed 5G products.
Continued operations depend on additional financing and building a sustainably profitable business. Management and its auditor have raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue operating. Securities rules also limit how much it can raise through registered shelf offerings while its publicly held share value remains below the applicable threshold.
The risk section is the longest, dullest part of the filing. This keeps only what can really hurt you: where it hits, how hard, when it plays out.
Every company claims an edge. Each one is checked against hard numbers like margins and returns: which hold, and which line gives way first.
Peraso’s results hinge on concentrated 60 GHz customer demand: watch Tachyon Networks, which uses its modules and accounted for 13% of 2025 revenue.
Ubiquiti’s Wave equipment demand matters directly to Peraso, its sole supplier of the products’ mmWave chips. Ubiquiti sells networking equipment to enterprises, service providers and wireless internet providers; watch demand for Wave fixed-wireless products rather than its broader networking business.
Qualcomm is Peraso’s identified historical main rival in chips for wireless connections using unlicensed spectrum under IEEE 802.11ad/ay, selling chips and licensing software to device manufacturers. Peraso says its support for 66–71 GHz channels lets signals travel farther, a concrete distinction to watch against Qualcomm’s offerings.
Mobix Labs’ non-binding offer to buy Peraso makes deal developments relevant to Peraso’s shares, but no ownership relationship has been completed. Mobix Labs sells wireless systems and connectors for applications including aerospace, defense and healthcare; watch whether the proposal becomes a definitive agreement and on what terms.
MaxLinear and Peraso both depend on spending on broadband access and radios that carry traffic between network sites: equipment makers buy MaxLinear’s chips, while equipment makers and wireless internet providers buy Peraso’s 60 GHz chips and modules. Watch MaxLinear’s broadband-equipment and backhaul-radio business for a read on this shared spending, rather than its data-center business.
MaxLinear, Inc. earningsMXL
MaxLinear’s broadband-equipment and backhaul-radio business will show whether equipment makers are still buying chips for access networks and links between sites—the same spending pool Peraso’s customers rely on.
Focus on MaxLinear’s broadband-equipment and backhaul-radio business, not data centers. Strength there would suggest equipment makers’ purchases for access networks and links between sites are holding up, supporting the market Peraso sells its mmWave chips and modules into. Weakness would point to more cautious buying by those customers, but would not confirm Peraso’s own orders.
Qualcomm Inc earningsQCOM
Qualcomm’s wireless-chip business will show whether demand is holding up for chips used in unlicensed-spectrum links, where it competes with Peraso for device makers’ business.
Focus on Qualcomm’s wireless-connectivity chip business, not its entire company. Strength there would suggest device makers are still buying chips and solutions for these links, supporting the market in which Peraso competes. Weakness would point to softer demand and a harder market for Peraso to win designs and shipments. Qualcomm’s results describe the competing market, not demand for Peraso’s own products.
Ubiquiti Inc. earningsUI
Ubiquiti’s report will show whether demand for its Wave fixed-wireless products is still driving purchases of the mmWave chips it sources solely from Peraso.
Look for demand for Ubiquiti’s Wave fixed-wireless products, not a substitute signal from its broader networking business. Stronger Wave demand would support continued purchases of mmWave chips from Peraso; weaker demand would put this important customer revenue stream at risk. Ubiquiti’s overall growth alone cannot show how Wave is selling—the product line is what matters.
Peraso, Inc. earningsThis company
Peraso’s report will show whether sales of mmWave chips and modules can fill the revenue gap left by ending memory-chip sales.
Read mmWave product revenue alongside gross profit, the amount left after product costs. Higher revenue with gross profit holding up would show that customer orders are converting into sales without an obvious loss of product economics. Revenue rising while gross profit falls would suggest the added shipments are not yet paying their way. If mmWave sales remain too small to replace memory-chip business, Peraso will have a harder time funding operations from product sales.
