-
From a market development perspective eight of the 15 largest communications and cable customers in the U.S. market are now IKE customers or in pilots. We are focusing on revenue expansion opportunities within these existing accounts as well as developing new pipeline sales opportunities.
-
An additional market opportunity for IKE Analyze was validated in the quarter specific to 5G mobile network development. The 5G market opportunity in the U.S. is large and is expected to grow significantly over the coming five or so years. This is additive to the very large fiber market opportunity where IKE Analyze has established a clear value proposition.
-
More generally, we are winning customers because the IKE platform enables networks to be deployed faster, more cost effectively and with a higher quality data standard.”
