TORTOLA, BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS / ACCESSWIRE / April 24, 2019 / Blockchain Holdings Ltd. (the "Company" or "Blockchain Holdings") (CSE: BCX), following its previous announced strategic investment into Airbeam Wireless Technologies Inc. ("Airbeam") on February 26, 2019, the Company is pleased to report that it has received an update from Airbeam on its operating revenue. Blockchain Holdings' investment helps to support Airbeam as it invests in a new generation of wireless network technologies that are designed to take advantage of existing and emerging high-speed data markets, including 5G, the future global telecommunication standard.
See Airbeam's complete news release below for details:
Airbeam Wireless Technologies Inc. ("Airbeam") (airbeamtech.com), a new wireless semiconductor company working to unlock a global opportunity in Smart City infrastructure and 5G rollout, today provided selected financial results for its first full month of operations since the acquisition of its next-generation 60Ghz products, including WiGig and WiHD (collectively, the "Airbeam Products").
Airbeam had sales of C$2.15M in March and April 2019. Prior to Airbeam's acquisition, the business line generated an estimated C$2.68M over the previous 12-months.
Highlights
- Over C$2 million in revenues since March 2019 acquisition.
- Sales include both modules and chipsets.
- Global sales, including clients serviced in North America, Asia and Europe.
- Contract manufacturer relationships and associated manufacturing infrastructure in place to build on this success moving forward.
- Revenue includes client backlog related to closing asset sale.
- Airbeam's cost of goods sold and operating expenses for March and April were C$948,031.30.*
Airbeam's aggressive growth follows the recent acquisition of the Airbeam Products from a major U.S. semiconductor manufacturer. The acquisition included an inventory of sale-ready chipsets which were used to complete April sales orders. Future sales will be derived from the manufacture of new modules and chipsets, which is well underway, as well as remaining inventory on-hand.
"We had a clear roadmap in place for this technology since day one, so we're excited to hit the ground running with sales across the globe," said Mr. Yan Zhang, an Airbeam Director. "Our April sales results outstrip anything this cutting-edge 5G-focused wireless technology experienced before our purchase, our customers now have clarity about growth in the product line and are responding showing the untapped potential and the opportunity for aggressive growth for Airbeam moving forward."
The Airbeam Products open up a global opportunity in 5G and IoT (Internet of Things) that are expected to form the building blocks of Smart City infrastructure. 5G, the next generation of cellular mobile communications, promises data speeds many times faster than the current 4G system, and could lead to higher capacity and much greater device connectivity. The Smart City initiative uses information and communication technologies to improve transportation, safety, energy use, as well as other infrastructure issues, for a better quality of life and greater competitiveness. We believe that Our Airbeam Products could act as critical components which connect 5G micro base stations with the backbone wirelessly.
