Peraso Inc (NASDAQ: PRSO) is a semiconductor company that designs and sells millimeter-wave (mmWave) integrated circuits for wireless communications. Revenue comes from transactional product sales of mmWave ICs to OEMs, service providers, and equipment manufacturers serving defense, aerospace, and consumer markets, sold on a purchase-order basis. Peraso operates as a fabless semiconductor company, relying on independent foundries for wafer fabrication, assembly, testing, and packaging. Revenue has been highly concentrated among a small number of customers, which the FY2025 10-K (filed 2026-03-30) identifies as a material risk. The company previously sold Bandwidth Engine memory ICs, but initiated an end-of-life process for that product line in May 2023 after TSMC discontinued the foundry process used to produce those wafers. Final EOL memory IC orders were fulfilled in March 2025, with approximately $0.5 million in additional revenue from remaining inventory fulfilled in Q3 and Q4 2025. As of the filing date, Peraso was engaged in strategic alternative discussions with Mobix Labs involving a potential all-stock transaction.
