Peraso Technologies

What Peraso Technologies does

Peraso Technologies (NASDAQ: PRSO) is a fabless semiconductor company founded in 2008 that develops millimeter-wave (mmWave) integrated circuits and modules operating primarily in the unlicensed 57–71 GHz V-band and licensed 24–44 GHz 5G bands. Its portfolio centers on the X720 IEEE 802.11ad-compliant chipset, the PRS1520 dual-band 5G beamformer IC, the PERSPECTUS family of fully integrated phased-array modules (PRM2141X through PRM2146X-D) supporting links up to 30 km, supporting firmware (Perspectus Infrastructure, Falcon-X MAC), and a legacy line of memory/retimer ICs (Blazar/LineSpeed/Quazar families) inherited from the 2021 MoSys business combination. The company sells primarily to fixed wireless access OEMs, wireless ISPs, defense contractors, and FPGA-acceleration system designers, with distribution via Richardson RFPD globally and regional partners across Asia-Pacific.

The company monetizes through hardware sales of chipsets, modules, and evaluation kits, supplemented by software/firmware licensing. It reaches customers via direct enterprise sales and a two-tier distribution channel, targeting four primary verticals: wireless ISPs and fixed wireless access (its dominant market where it supplies 8 global OEMs), aerospace and defense (notably Israeli defense contractor InTACT for drone IFF systems), professional video and immersive AR/VR/XR, and transportation/V2X. Revenue has declined from $14.5M in FY2024 to $12.2M in FY2025, with Q1 2026 revenue of $1.0M (vs. $3.9M in Q1 2025) due to a delayed major customer shipment.

Corporate details: U.S. corporate headquarters in San Jose, CA; primary R&D center in Toronto, Canada; approximately 11–50 employees; ISO 9001:2015 certified; market capitalization of approximately $12M as of April 2026; less than one year of cash runway with negative 39% net margins; the company is the target of an unsolicited all-stock acquisition bid from Mobix Labs announced in mid-2025 that remains under negotiation.

Revenue model

1. mmWave Semiconductor Products: Peraso generates revenue primarily from the sale of mmWave semiconductor devices — including chipsets (X720, PRS1520), modules (PERSPECTUS family: PRM2141X, PRM2142X, PRM2143X, PRM2144X, PRM2146X-D), and evaluation kits — to fixed wireless access equipment manufacturers, WISPs, defense contractors, and other customers. Revenue has shifted from predominantly memory chips to mmWave products as the company executes its strategic transition.
2. Software, Firmware, and IP Licensing: Peraso generates supplementary revenue from software and firmware licensing, including its Falcon-X Infrastructure MAC software platform, Perspectus Infrastructure software, and other proprietary IP embedded in its semiconductor solutions. Historical licensing revenue included one-time licensing contributions from major customers.
