Business update

 

Further to the Company's update announcement on 10 June 2025 and the further
updates provided in its 2024 annual report and accounts, the Company is
pleased to expand on the various opportunities that have been progressed by
Ethernity.

 

Progress with Existing Paying Customers

 

Long-standing OEM Customer

The Company announced in July 2025 that it has reached a milestone of one of
its long-standing OEM customers shipping 1,000,000 products with Ethernity's
Carrier Ethernet IP embedded. The Company has collaborated on a joint proposal
with this OEM on the development of a new FPGA-based product for the OEM's
clients. This solution would leverage Ethernity's proven and widely deployed
technology. The OEM customer has indicated growing confidence in securing the
business based on the proposal.

 

U.S. Tier-1 OEM Customer

 

The Company's leading U.S. Tier-1 OEM customer has now surpassed several
thousand deployments of Remote OLT (RoLT) units containing Ethernity's IP,
with approximately 40% of the total volume shipped in the last 12 months. This
achievement meets the initial contracted volume threshold. As deployments
continue, the Company anticipates securing recurring revenue beyond the
original agreement.

 

The Customer has indicated that it intends to engage with the Company in
discussions concerning the development of two next-generation RoLT platforms,
which would incorporate additional functionality to be provided by Ethernity.

 

Progress with New Customer Engagements

 

New U.S RoLT OEM engagement

 

Following the submission of a commercial proposal, the Company is in active
discussions with another leading Remote OLT vendor seeking to migrate their
existing OLT design to Ethernity's PON technology. Technical evaluation and
solution alignment are progressing positively.

 

New European RoLT OEM Customer

Following multiple meetings with a European OEM over the last two years, the
Company has recently aligned with this possible customer on a technical
proposal that leverages their existing platform to deliver a flexible,
FPGA-based PON solution. Commercial terms have been agreed, and execution is
now pending with the customer's final internal approval.

 

New Potential PON ASIC Collaboration

A major European semiconductor vendor is currently evaluating a potential ASIC
fabrication based on Ethernity's PON technology, following a quotation request
from a leading PON OEM system supplier. Technical and Commercial Discussions
remain at an early stage, and the timing of execution is yet to be determined,
however it demonstrates a need for Ethernity's IP for execution of variant
ASICs for Broadband, Mobile and Carrier Ethernet market.

 

Whilst there can be no guarantees that these contracts will be signed, the
Directors are pleased with the recent progress in commercial discussions.

 

Strategic Wireless Backhaul Opportunity

 

The Company strategy continues to be to initiate a groundbreaking, low-cost,
high-performance ASSP project in the coming months. The Company continues to
engage with a leading wireless backhaul OEM on various execution strategies,
with a goal to converge on the best joint route for execution.

 

David Levi, CEO of Ethernity Networks, commented: "We are pleased to report
meaningful commercial progress across multiple potential licensing engagements
based on our existing solution and technology, and growing interest in our PON
and Carrier Ethernet solutions on top of the strategic wireless backhaul
opportunity. As the industry continues its transition to open, flexible, and
programmable access platforms, Ethernity is well-positioned to lead with our
robust IP, proven deployment, and trusted customer relationships."

 

The Company will continue to update the market should these opportunities
materialize into a contract.
