First Quarter Company Highlights
Record revenue of $37.9 million, representing year over year growth of 55% over the first quarter of 2016 and 1% sequential growth over the fourth quarter of 2016 in a typically seasonally soft period.
Announced the QSR5G-AX as a follow-on to its industry first 802.11ax Wi-Fi chipset introduction, the 12-stream QSR10G-AX. The QSR5G leverages Quantenna’s proprietary technology architectures and advanced software and system-level algorithms. The QSR5G-AX solution supports 8 total streams of 802.11ax: 4 streams in the 5GHz band and 4 streams in the 2.4GHz band.
Introduced a smart Wi-Fi self-optimized managed network solution. The solution is comprised of SONiQ, an open software framework that unites various network devices



regardless of Wi-Fi chipset, coupled with a hardware reference design for third-party compatibility to operate seamlessly.
Introduced the industry's first carrier-grade full-duplex Wi-Fi range extender mesh network solution with Greenwave Systems, Inc., the global Internet of Things (IoT) software and managed services leader for whole-home coverage. This solution uses Quantenna’s Wi-Fi silicon and network optimization software technologies.
