Strategic Customer Wins and Product Launches
Notable design wins and collaborations during 2025 included Tachyon Networks (selected modules), renewed collaboration with Wheeling for multi-gigabit mesh, MicroSeq integrating Peraso tech in a product launched at Mobile World Congress, and naming Intact as a lead defense contractor for a drone friend-or-foe system. Management highlighted successful field trials and initial production shipments for defense.
New Market Expansion (Tactical Communications & Robotaxi Edge AI)
Peraso transitioned a defense engagement into a new tactical communications vertical with initial production shipments and successful field trials; management also announced collaborations with robotaxi/edge-AI partners (BX60/VX60 platforms) targeting high-throughput depot offload use cases (up to 1 TB/vehicle/hour), representing potential large-scale adjacent market opportunities.
