KFAR SAVA, Israel, Oct. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SILC) today announced that one of its long-term strategic customers, a leader in the SD-WAN space, has decided to standardize on Silicom's newest uCPE solutions for use in its next generation portfolio of SD-WAN devices.

The customer will be using a series of off-the-shelf and customized SKUs with varying configurations and processing power options, including optional LTE and Wi-Fi as well as other extension functionalities. According to the customer's projections, orders from this Design Win are expected to begin ramping up in 2020 to a full run rate of more than $15 million per year.

"We are excited that this leading SD-WAN company, a strategic client for years, is standardizing on us as its 'go-to' connectivity/performance partner, especially now as they prepare to launch the next generation of their new SD-WAN products," commented Shaike Orbach, Silicom's CEO.

Mr. Orbach continued, "Over and above the significant revenues, this win is strategic for us from several points of view. First, our success with this customer demonstrates our ability to penetrate SD-WAN market segments beyond telcos, our current focus.

"Second, this win demonstrates the superiority of our latest uCPE innovations, for which we are experiencing significant interest from many customers. And third, it underscores our customer's appreciation for the high-level co-operation and superb support that has characterized our relationship over the years."
