NOTE 1: BUSINESS

 

The financial information in this quarterly report includes the results of CEVA, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “CEVA”).

 

CEVA licenses a family of signal processing IPs and integrated solutions in two types of categories: wireless connectivity and smart sensing. These products include comprehensive platforms comprised of specialized DSPs coupled with an AI and other types of accelerators targeted for low power workloads, including 5G baseband processing, intelligent vision, voice recognition, physical layer processing and sensor fusion. CEVA also offers high performance DSPs targeted for 5G RAN and Open RAN, Wi-Fi enterprise and residential access points, satellite communication and other multi-gigabit communications. Our portfolio also includes a wide range of application software optimized for our processors, including voice front-end processing and speech recognition, imaging and computer vision and sensor fusion. For sensor fusion, our Hillcrest Labs sensor processing technologies provide a broad range of sensor fusion software and inertial measurement unit (“IMU”) solutions for AR/VR, robotics, remote controls and IoT. For wireless IoT, the Company offers the industry’s most widely adopted IPs for Bluetooth (low energy and dual mode), Wi-Fi 4/5/6 (802.11n/ac/ax) and NB-IoT.

 

CEVA’s recently acquired Intrinsix Corp. business expands its market reach to the aerospace and defense markets, which the Company believes will allow it to offer integrated IP solutions that combine CEVA’s standardized, off-the-shelf IP together with Intrinsix’s non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) design capabilities and IP in RF, mixed-signal, security, high complexity digital design, chiplets and more.

 

CEVA’s technologies are licensed to leading semiconductor and original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) companies. These companies design, manufacture, market and sell application-specific integrated circuits (“ASICs”) and application-specific standard products (“ASSPs”) based on CEVA’s technology to wireless, consumer electronics and automotive companies for incorporation into a wide variety of end products.

 

CEVA is a sustainability and environmentally conscious company, adhering to its Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. As such, it emphasizes and focuses on environmental preservation, recycling, the welfare of its employees and privacy – all of which it promotes on a corporate level. CEVA is committed to social responsibility, values of preservation and consciousness towards these purposes.
