Zorronet's Antenna Integration Pilot With Israeli Defense Organization

According to the filing, Tessera Defense and Homeland Security Inc. announced through its subsidiary Zorronet Ltd. that a major Israeli defense organization placed an additional order for third-party antenna systems. These antennas are intended to be integrated with the Zorronet system that the same customer had previously purchased. The company disclosed that the combination of hardware and software is designed to maintain reliable communications, real-time visibility, and control when platforms are deployed far from their operators, including in what the filing describes as "challenging field conditions."

The filing identifies this as Zorronet's first pilot that combines extended-range antennas with its autonomous system into a complete solution. Idan Wasserman, CEO of Zorronet, was quoted in the release stating: "Our technology is already operating in the field, and we are demonstrating its capabilities alongside our customers in real conditions." Michael Oster, CEO of Tessera, stated in the filing that "an existing defense customer is expanding its relationship with Zorronet to include additional hardware," which the company said demonstrates "the potential to build on our installed customer base."

The filing notes the deal could lead to additional projects involving autonomous systems, distributed operations, and extended-range command and control, though it cautions that the pilot order "may not result in material revenues or generate additional business opportunities," citing this among several specific risks. The company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, except as required by law, according to the filing.
