"This is another concrete demonstration of the revenue-generating value of our trusted-supplier relationships with blue-chip IT industry leaders," commented Liron Eizenman, Silicom's CEO. "We are proud that in such a short period of time since the initial Design Win, this global giant is already using our products in more and more use cases, relying on Silicom as its sole Edge Networking hardware provider. This is a testament both to the innovation of our products and to our reliability as a supplier."
Mr. Eizenman continued, "In fact, customers often return to us with follow-up Design Wins, leveraging the products they already use in additional use cases while also looking to us for more solutions. This gives us a solid, predictable platform of recurring revenues, a significant, stable baseline from which we will continue to grow in the future – both by ramping up existing Design Wins and by securing new clients and design wins. We are following this strategy with the goal of achieving strong, continuous growth in the years ahead."
