Cyber Security Leader Selects Silicom Edge System for its Next Generation Offering

- Customer forecasts full ramp-up to reach $2M/year –

KFAR SAVA, Israel, Jan. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SILC), a leading provider of networking and data infrastructure solutions, today announced that an existing customer, a major US-based cyber security company, has expanded its business with Silicom, awarding the Company a design win for an advanced Edge system. Initial orders have been received, and quantities are expected to ramp up during the second half of 2025 to reach a full run-rate of approximately $2 million per year.

The selected product is a customized version of a wireless connectivity-enabled Silicom Edge system incorporating a Silicom Network Interface Card. The customer will offer this system as the next generation of one of its leading product lines.

This win expands the relationship that Silicom has been building with the client for several years, ramping up the range of products sold from network interface cards to complex Edge devices. In parallel, discussions continue about additional Silicom products that the customer is considering for other product lines.

"The fact that a company that began buying network adapters now relies on us for its next-generation Edge and appliance needs demonstrates the strength of our product line and the importance of the relationships we have built over the years with our loyal customer base," commented Liron Eizenman, Silicom's CEO. "Our ability to carry out required customization quickly and to provide both the Edge system and the network interface card that are incorporated within the system, together with our deep wireless know-how, were also key factors in securing the win. We believe they will lead to additional business with this customer."

"Long-term, trusting relationships such as these are helping us to expand our base of recurring revenues. We expect demand to continue to build for our Edge systems, Smart Network Interface cards and innovative products that integrate the two, becoming a key driver of our future growth."
