Insights
The announcement from Peraso Inc. regarding the EtherWave software package represents a significant development in the realm of mmWave technology. The ability to support 60 GHz IEEE 802.11ad module products across multiple operating systems such as Android, Windows and Linux could potentially lead to broader adoption of mmWave solutions in various tech sectors. This cross-platform support is crucial as it allows for seamless integration into existing ecosystems, which is a key driver for technology uptake.
From a telecommunications perspective, the use of the CDC NCM interface is a noteworthy improvement over older protocols like CDC ECM and EEM. By providing a more efficient method for transporting Ethernet data over USB, Peraso's solution is likely to enhance the user experience in terms of both speed and convenience. This upgrade could lead to increased demand for the company's 60 GHz wireless adapters, especially in data-intensive applications such as AR/VR and tactical communications where high throughput and low latency are essential.
Peraso's positive feedback from beta-customers regarding near 2Gbps throughput and the ability to avoid traditional Wi-Fi interference is a strong selling point that may give them a competitive edge in the market. As the demand for high-speed, secure wireless connectivity grows, particularly in handheld devices, Peraso's EtherWave software could capture a significant market share. This is particularly relevant as the AR/VR market is expanding and the need for high-bandwidth, low-interference connectivity solutions becomes more pronounced.
The mention of Peraso's global reach through system vendors and distributors like Richardson RFPD suggests a strategic distribution network that could facilitate rapid market penetration upon general availability of the EtherWave software. Investors and stakeholders should monitor the adoption rate post-release, as it will be a critical indicator of the company's performance and the potential impact on its stock value.
The aspect of physical security due to the narrow-beam radiation pattern of Peraso's mmWave antenna modules is of particular interest from a cybersecurity standpoint. This feature implies a reduced risk of eavesdropping and signal interception, which is a growing concern in wireless communication. The difficulty in jamming the signal due to the propagation characteristics of 60 GHz signals adds an additional layer of security, potentially making Peraso's technology attractive for sectors where data security is paramount.
Given the increasing threats to wireless networks, this advancement could lead to Peraso's technology becoming a preferred choice for industries that require secure communication channels, such as defense, finance and healthcare. The cybersecurity implications of EtherWave could therefore not only influence Peraso's market positioning but also contribute to shaping industry standards for secure wireless communications.
SAN JOSE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2024 / Peraso Inc. (NASDAQ:PRSO) ("Peraso" or the "Company"), a leader in mmWave technology, today announced the scheduled availability of its EtherWaveTM software package supporting the Company's 60 GHz IEEE 802.11ad module products. This solution provides cross platform support, enabling the modules to be used with host devices running Android, Windows and Linux.
EtherWave provides support for the standardized Communication Device Class ("CDC") Network Control Module ("NCM") interface which is natively supported on most personal computing platforms. CDC NCM provides for a more efficient method for transporting Ethernet data over USB compared to previously established protocols, such as CDC ECM and EEM. CDC NCM will allow Peraso's wireless adapter USB 3.0 connection to communicate with the host device without installation of device specific drivers and to expand the range of devices which can utilize 60 GHz wireless for multi-gigabit connectivity. The Company anticipates that its customers will use the EtherWave software package for applications such as AR/VR and tactical communications, among others.
EtherWave is in pre-release testing with customers now, and Peraso expects to have general availability supporting Android by the end of Q2 2024.
"The feedback we've received from our beta-customers is very positive. They have been able to connect handheld devices, such as Android mobile phones and tablets, with 60 GHz and realize nearly 2Gbps throughput," said Nadine Hatto Ph.D., Senior Director of Product Marketing at Peraso. "Furthermore, these data connections are free from interference from traditional Wi-Fi and offer a higher degree of physical security due to the narrow-beam radiation pattern generated by Peraso's mmWave antenna modules. The signal is also difficult to jam due to the propagation characteristics of 60 GHz signals."
Peraso provides its technology worldwide through system vendors in North America, Asia and Europe and component distributors, including Richardson RFPD.
