KFAR SAVA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ:SILC) today announced that it has been awarded its first Design Win from a Tier-1 Network Monitoring company, a new customer for the Company. This Design Win is for Silicom’s 40 GBPS Time Stamping and Packet Processing card, representing the successful conclusion of a multi-year evaluation and product definition process that was carried out by the combined team of Silicom and Fiberblaze, the Application Acceleration company that Silicom acquired in late 2014.
To date, the customer has placed orders totaling approximately $500,000 for both the product for which it has awarded the Design Win and for another Time Stamping product which is currently in the process of evaluation, indicating its intention to design-in this additional product, following full compliance with the customer’s requirements. In parallel, the customer continues to evaluate additional Silicom products based on a variety of technologies and speeds. As such, Management believes that this customer will give Silicom many additional Design Wins over time, and that it will eventually become a multi-million dollar account.
“We are very pleased to begin a relationship with another high-potential new client – an additional customer who we believe will grow strongly over time,” commented Mr. Shaike Orbach, Silicom’s President and CEO. “To achieve this first Design Win, the customer carried out an extremely thorough evaluation and product definition process, examining every aspect of our organization as well as the specific advantages of our technologies over a period of several years. This demonstrates - once again - that while our initial sales cycles are long, they can result in important wins with significant long-term growth potential.”
Mr. Orbach continued, “We look forward to working closely with the client to assure total satisfaction with our products and services, transforming them into a strong reference account that will lead to additional wins while enhancing our understanding of the Network Monitoring market’s emerging requirements.”
