New engagement signals growth opportunities and enables expansion into a high-volume market segment
San Jose, CA – December 12, 202 3– Peraso Inc., (NASDAQ:PRSO) (“Peraso” or the “Company”) today announced a new customer engagement, which demonstrates the Company’s ability to expand into new, high-growth consumer markets. As part of its latest partnership, Peraso's X130 chipset will be replacing its customer's current solution for wireless video distribution for indoor applications. The X130 offers support for high bandwidth, low latency applications and circumvents Wi-Fi network congestion using mmWave.
The X130 can guarantee a high bandwidth connection between the user and an Ultra High-Definition (UHD) video display. As it operates in the 60GHz band, there is no interference from Wi-Fi devices and, with the use of directional beamforming technology and the propagation characteristics of 60GHz signals, there is also no interference from other 802.11ad devices. As part of its partnership, Peraso is helping its customer to build a one-of-a-kind proprietary solution to enable single-user operation initially. Later releases will enable multi-user operation.
"We are very excited for the opportunity to expand into a new market and look forward to the tremendous growth potential this partnership presents,” said Ron Glibbery, Co-Founder and CEO, Peraso. “I believe this application is a great match for the capabilities of our X130 chipset and 802.11ad. While Peraso has had success with Fixed Wireless Access, finding suitable consumer applications has been elusive."
Peraso’s X130 chipset employs the PRS1145 and PRS4601 integrated circuits to implement a low cost, low power, high performance SuperSpeed USB 3.0 to 802.11ad 60 GHz mmWave system. The X130 provides multi-gigabit throughput with the ability to power applications such as wireless AR/VR, wireless displays, wireless docking, and wireless access to the cloud, which can now be much more effective and efficient using WiGig technology.
