KFAR SAVA, Israel, Dec. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicom Ltd.
(NASDAQ: SILC) today announced that one of the world's largest
service providers is expected to deploy Silicom's modular uCPE
units in its worldwide NFV implementation with SD-WAN integrated as
one of its network functions.
To win this deal, Silicom leveraged its unique capabilities
within the uCPE world, including primarily its modular approach and
secured management features, and customized its uCPE designs to
help the customer achieve its required challenging performance,
data volume and infrastructure-scale-up goals. Silicom has already
delivered customized devices for testing and approval, and is now
moving forward with a process expected to lead to General
Availability (GA) during the first half of 2019.
Based on the customer's projections, Silicom expects win-related
revenues to ramp up gradually, beginning with only a few million
dollars in 2019 and then rising to a run rate of tens of millions
of dollars per year at the height of the program.
"It is hard to overstate the importance of this win for
Silicom," commented Shaike Orbach,
Silicom's CEO. "Beyond the significant 5-year revenue potential of
the deal, the fact that a customer of this size – a company with
almost unlimited internal development resources – has come to us,
is the strongest possible confirmation of our unique creativity and
the superiority of our hardware and software technologies. It also
demonstrates, once again, the rock-solid reliability of our
manufacturing, delivery and support capabilities, all of which are
fundamental prerequisites for a project of this scale."
Mr. Orbach continued, "In addition, beyond the potential of this
particular project and its future derivatives, we believe our
success in penetrating this giant customer will pave the way to
significant new wins in the future, both within this organization
and with other service providers, of all sorts and sizes,
throughout the world."
