How the company works
Read from its Form 10-K filed 2026-03-30.
The people
Ronald Glibbery has been chief executive officer and a director since December 2021, when the private company he founded was folded into this one. He founded Peraso Technologies Inc., called Peraso Tech in the filing, in 2008 and ran it as chief executive. The annual report credits him with over 25 years in the semiconductor industry, after executive jobs at Kleer Semiconductor, a fabless designer of wireless audio chips, and at Intellon Corporation, which made chips for communications over power lines. The same bio records a hard passage: in June 2020 Peraso Tech obtained an order under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, which appointed Ernst & Young Inc. as its monitor, and the monitor filed a petition under Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, the part that has a foreign insolvency case recognized in the United States. The Ontario court authorized an end to those proceedings in October 2020 and the United States case was terminated in December 2020. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Three other executive officers are named, and none is new. James Sullivan has been chief financial officer since January 2008, after the same job at Apptera, Inc. and, before that, at 8x8, Inc.; on the insider record this site holds his first filing here dates from 2008. Bradley Lynch, chief operating officer since December 2021, co-founded Peraso Tech in 2009 and was its executive vice president of engineering and operations. Alexander Tomkins, chief technology officer since December 2021, co-founded Peraso Tech in 2009 as its chief technology officer. The bios of both men repeat the 2020 creditor protection at Peraso Tech. [5, 6, 7, 2, 8]
The board has five members. Besides Glibbery they are Daniel Lewis, now retired, a director since September 2017 who was president and then chief executive of the company before the Peraso combination and vice president and general manager of memory products until December 2022; Cornelis Links, appointed in December 2025, chief executive since January 2024 of SuperLight Photonics B.V., a Netherlands photonics company that was declared bankrupt in September 2025 and restarted after a restructuring; Andreas Melder, appointed in December 2021, a semiconductor, communications and consumer electronics executive; and Robert Newell, a director since October 2018 and a former chief financial officer at several technology companies. Links, Melder and Newell are the audit committee and all three are independent under the Nasdaq rules. On the insider record this site holds, eighteen people have filed as officers or directors, ten of them in the last fifteen months. [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 8]
The company is tiny for what it attempts: 42 employees at the end of 2025, 9 in the United States and 33 in Canada, with 31 in research, development and manufacturing operations and 11 in sales, marketing and administration. The offices it leases are in Toronto and Markham, Ontario. During 2023 and 2024 it cut 19 full-time equivalent positions, and research and development spending fell from 9.2 million dollars in 2024 to 6.2 million in 2025. [15, 16, 17, 18]
How it operates
Peraso designs millimeter wave radio chips. It is fabless, meaning it draws the chips and hires other companies to make them. Millimeter wave, shortened to mmWave in the filing, is the radio spectrum from 24 gigahertz to 300 gigahertz, far above the frequencies phones and Wi-Fi use; Peraso's products work between 24 and 71 gigahertz. It sells the chips themselves, complete antenna modules that put its chips and the antenna into one part, engineering work a customer pays for, and licences to its designs. Distance and speed are the selling points: the filing says point to point links using its chips reach up to 25 kilometers in the 60 gigahertz band. [19, 20]
Two standards shape the product line. The licence-free pair, IEEE 802.11ad and 802.11ay, runs in the 57 to 71 gigahertz band that needs no licence in most of the world, so a wireless internet service provider can build with it without buying spectrum. The licensed one is 5G, where the 3rd Generation Partnership Project put the 24 to 43 gigahertz band into the specification and carriers must license it. Everything Peraso ships is in the licence-free band: 60 gigahertz radio and baseband chips, the PERSPECTUS family of antenna modules for fixed wireless access, and a protocol it calls DUNE for crowded cities where many beams compete. It has sampled a 5G beamformer chip but says it has not sold any 5G products. Its other line, the Bandwidth Engine memory chips sold for networking and data centre gear, is closed: TSMC, the only foundry that made those wafers, stopped running the process, so the company began ending the line in May 2023 and filled the last standing orders in March 2025. [21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27]
Its revenue comes from a handful of names. In fixed wireless the customers are OEMs, the firms that build the radios, and wireless internet service providers, most of them in Africa. The filing names Ubiquiti, which relies on Peraso as the sole source of the mmWave chips in its Wave products; WeLink, whose hardware business was launched in 2024 as a separate company, Ketsen Networks; and Tachyon Networks, which uses Peraso modules in its 60 gigahertz point to point and point to multipoint products. Five customers each took a tenth or more of 2025 revenue: UI Limited at 29 percent, F5/Flextronics, Tachyon and Alltek at 13 percent each and Ikeja at 12 percent. The five together were about 80 percent of revenue, where a year earlier two customers were about 86 percent, Nokia Corporation at 25 percent and F5/Flextronics at 61 percent. At the end of 2025 two customers accounted for about 93 percent of the money owed to the company. [28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33]
The record's geography is the destination of the shipment rather than the home of the buyer, and it moved a long way in one year. Taiwan took 5.3 million dollars of 2025 revenue, 43.3 percent, against 238.0 thousand the year before; Europe 3.1 million, 25.7 percent; North America 2.4 million, 19.3 percent, down from 12.5 million; the rest of the world 1.4 million, 11.6 percent; Hong Kong 14.0 thousand. Peraso sells through its own sales people and through representatives and distributors in the United States, Africa, Asia and Europe, and the wait from a design win to volume shipments runs 12 to 36 months. [34, 35, 36, 37]
It owns no factory. Third parties make, package, assemble and test every chip and module, and several of those vendors sit in Asia. There are no long term supply contracts: a supplier is bound only by the purchase order in front of it. At the end of 2025 the company had about 2.7 million dollars of non-cancellable orders outstanding for inventory, mostly wafers and substrates. [38, 39, 40, 41]
The specifics
What Peraso sells is hard to design and hard to make, which is the moat it claims. Millimeter wave circuits are extremely difficult to model on a computer, so the filing says the only way to know how a device performs is to build it and test it in the real world; it counts over 15 years of that know-how as the asset. Phased array beamforming, in which an array of antenna elements works in unison to point a narrow beam instead of radiating in all directions, is the core competence, and the company says it is one of the few in the world shipping phased array devices in mass production. At the end of 2025 it held 72 United States patents and 16 foreign patents, expiring between 2026 and 2041, with 8 applications pending; nine of its patents are essential claims on the IEEE 802.11ay standard, which means the standard cannot be implemented without a licence from it. [42, 43, 44, 45, 46]
It names its rivals plainly. In the licence-free 802.11ad and 802.11ay market the long-standing competitor is Qualcomm, and Peraso's answer is support for the upper channels from 66 to 71 gigahertz, where less oxygen absorption lets the signal travel further. In 5G it expects to meet Qualcomm again alongside MediaTek Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. The equipment market it sells into has historically been served by Ubiquiti Inc., Cambium Networks, Ltd. and SIA MikroTik, which makes Ubiquiti both the shape of its market and its largest named customer. [47, 48, 49, 31]
Spectrum rules and public money set the size of the opportunity. In 2023 the United States government created the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program, which put 42.45 billion dollars behind high speed internet across all 50 states. The filing says the agency running it first steered the money to fiber and treated unlicensed fixed wireless as ineligible, then during 2025 moved to a technology neutral approach covering all forms of fixed wireless access, including services carried by Peraso's 60 gigahertz technology. Trade policy cuts the other way: the filing warns that tariffs and other restrictive trade measures can raise the cost of components and finished goods, and that it may not be able to pass those costs on. [50, 51, 52]
The company is older than its name. Founded in 1991 and reincorporated in Delaware in 2000, it was MoSys, Inc. until December 2021, when it completed the arrangement with Peraso Tech, took the Peraso name and began trading on the Nasdaq as PRSO; its filing record with the SEC starts in 2000. It has lost money in every year the record holds, from 2020 through 2025, though the 2025 loss of 4.8 million dollars was the smallest of them, and the accumulated deficit reached 181.9 million dollars. Cash was 2.9 million dollars at the end of 2025. Management concluded, and the outside auditor agreed, that there is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern; the filing says its cash and expected receipts from forecast product sales cover its needs into the third quarter of 2026. Since June 2025 the board has also been weighing an unsolicited, non-binding proposal from Mobix Labs, Inc. to acquire the company, inside a wider review of strategic alternatives it opened in July 2025. [53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 18, 59]
What drives growth, line by line
Revenue fell 16.3 percent in 2025 to 12.2 million dollars, the lowest since 2021. Behind the fall is a swap rather than a slump: the memory chip line that was most of 2024 revenue is finished, and the mmWave lines meant to replace it grew to about three quarters of the total. [18, 34, 60]
mmWave ICs. The line that grew and now leads: 6.7 million dollars, 55.2 percent of 2025 revenue, against 302.0 thousand the year before, more than twenty times as much. The filing puts the gain down to higher shipments of mmWave chips and antenna modules as the memory line ran out. These chips also reached their first defense job: the filing says a lead defense contractor customer uses its 60 gigahertz beamforming transceivers in an identification friend or foe system, which lets ground forces and counter drone systems tell whether an aircraft overhead is friendly or hostile, built for places where electronic warfare is heavy. [34, 60, 61, 20]
Memory ICs. The line that has gone: 2.7 million dollars, 22.3 percent of revenue, down 78.9 percent from 12.9 million. TSMC, the only foundry that made those wafers, stopped running the process, so the company began the end of life in May 2023 and filled the last standing orders in March 2025; two later orders out of leftover inventory brought about 0.5 million dollars in the second half of the year. Memory chips were about 89 percent of 2024 revenue and about 22 percent of 2025, and the company says it does not expect meaningful revenue from them after December 2025. [34, 26, 62, 63]
mmWave modules. 2.3 million dollars, 18.8 percent of revenue, up 127.7 percent from 1.0 million. These are the PERSPECTUS modules, Peraso's own chips and antenna in a single part, sold to wireless internet service providers for fixed wireless access in the unlicensed 60 gigahertz band, using over 14 gigahertz of spectrum; the filing says links run from 1.5 kilometers to as far as 30 kilometers with a parabolic reflector. [34, 24]
Royalty and other. 348.0 thousand dollars, 2.9 percent of revenue, up 7.1 percent. The line holds royalties, licence fees and engineering work customers pay for. The rise came from engineering services on mmWave technology under a statement of work signed in July 2025, set against falling royalties from memory licensees, which the company puts down to TSMC dropping the process. [34, 64]
mmWave other products. The smallest line: 98.0 thousand dollars, 0.8 percent of revenue, against 25.0 thousand the year before. [34]
What comes next, in the company's own words: it says it expects sales of its mmWave products to increase in volume and revenue in 2026, on more orders from existing customers and new customers starting production during the year. Its quarterly report for the first half of 2026 says the first defense engagement has widened from an identification friend or foe system worn by people to module products for drones, and that it is working with another customer on autonomous vehicles and drone swarms. The same report says there have been no further developments on the Mobix Labs proposal since the current report filed in January 2026. [65, 66, 67]
What the desk infers (inferred, not filed)
- UI Limited, the customer that took 29 percent of 2025 revenue, is almost certainly the entity through which Ubiquiti buys, which would make one buyer nearly a third of the company's sales. Because: The filing names five customers at a tenth or more of 2025 revenue and puts UI Limited at the top of them, at 29 percent. [31] The only customer the filing describes as depending on Peraso as its sole source of mmWave chips is Ubiquiti, for its Wave products. [28] Ubiquiti Inc. is also the first name in the list of equipment makers the filing says has historically served the worldwide fixed wireless market. [49] mmWave chip revenue leapt from 302.0 thousand dollars to 6.7 million in one year, the shape of a single volume program starting rather than a broad base of buyers. [34] Confidence 80 of 100. Wrong if: A filing or a customer disclosure that names UI Limited as a company unconnected to Ubiquiti Inc., or that names some other buyer behind the 29 percent.
- F5/Flextronics, at 61 percent of 2024 revenue and 13 percent of 2025, was buying the memory chips, so its fall is the revenue decline and says nothing about demand for the mmWave products. Because: Memory chips were about 89 percent of 2024 revenue and about 22 percent of 2025 revenue, and the same pair of names was the largest customer in both years. [63, 31] Memory revenue fell from 12.9 million dollars to 2.7 million while every mmWave line grew. [34] The memory chips were companion parts for high speed cloud networking, communications and security appliance systems, which is the equipment an appliance maker and its contract manufacturer would buy for. [27] Revenue shipped to North America fell from 12.5 million dollars to 2.4 million in the same year, close to the whole memory decline. [34] Confidence 75 of 100. Wrong if: A filing or disclosure showing that F5/Flextronics bought mmWave chips or modules rather than memory parts, or naming a different customer as the memory buyer at that share.
- The leap in revenue shipped to Taiwan is where Peraso's customers have their equipment built, not a new set of Taiwanese buyers, so the geography line tracks contract manufacturing rather than the end market. Because: The company reports revenue by geographical destination, which is where the goods are shipped rather than where the customer is headquartered. [35] Taiwan went from 238.0 thousand dollars to 5.3 million, 43.3 percent of 2025 revenue, in the same year North America fell from 12.5 million to 2.4 million. [34] The fixed wireless customers the filing names are Ubiquiti, WeLink with its spun out hardware company Ketsen Networks, and Tachyon Networks, with wireless internet service providers mostly in Africa; none of them is described as Taiwanese. [28, 29] Peraso owns no factory and the vendors that make, package, assemble and test its parts sit largely in Asia. [38, 39] Confidence 65 of 100. Wrong if: A filing that attributes the Taiwan revenue to customers headquartered in Taiwan buying for their own use, or a customer list naming a Taiwanese equipment maker at anything like that share.
