• Wireless Systems Solutions: Mobix Labs' wireless systems solutions address three key markets—communications, sensing and detection, and microelectronics. In the communications sector, the company provides products and services for advanced RF and mmWave 5G communications, including the SMART™ Edge device. For sensing and detection, Mobix Labs offers custom-designed products and services, such as mmWave sensing modules used in security technology systems. In microelectronics, the company focuses on developing semiconductor components, including 5G chipset IP and technology, aimed at reducing the cost of 5G devices. These solutions cater to commercial, industrial, defense, and aerospace sectors, addressing the growing demand for higher performance communication and filtering systems.

• Interconnect Products: This segment includes EMI filter inserts and filtered and non-filtered connectors. These products are designed for and currently used in aerospace, military, defense, and medical applications. The interconnect products play a pivotal role in maintaining signal clarity, reducing signal distortion, and safeguarding against potential disruptions caused by external electromagnetic sources.

• Active Optical Cables: Mobix Labs provides active optical cables that extend high bandwidth signals with ultra-low latency from the wireless portion of a system to the wired portion. The True Xero AOCs are designed to deliver fiber optic connectivity at an affordable price for a wide range of applications, including 5G infrastructure, autonomous vehicles, Pro A/V, AR/VR, and remote medical systems.

Mobix Labs holds a competitive position within the industry, leveraging an experienced management team with comprehensive expertise in the communications sector. The company's diversified business model serves both commercial and government markets, reducing dependency on a single technology or market. Mobix Labs' strong acquisition and integration track record, including the acquisitions of RaGE Systems, EMI Solutions, and Cosemi, has expanded its product offerings and customer base. The company's superior, scalable wireless technology, based on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) processes, allows for higher levels of integration and cost-effective manufacturing. Additionally, Mobix Labs' extensive patent and trade secret portfolio provides a significant competitive advantage in its wireless and connectivity products. The company's U.S.-based supply chain for connectivity products offers a strategic advantage, particularly in the context of global economic tensions and tariffs.

Mobix Labs' primary customers include organizations that sell product solutions for aerospace, military, defense, healthcare, and professional audio-video applications. The company has engaged with several OEMs and ODMs in an effort to secure them as customers for its mmWave 5G ICs when the products are available for sale. For the year ended September 30, 2024, sales to Leidos Holdings, Inc. accounted for approximately 40% of the company's net revenues. Mobix Labs' customer base is diverse, encompassing both commercial and government sectors, which helps mitigate risks associated with economic and political uncertainties. The company's strategic focus on mission-critical and high-reliability (HiRel) applications positions it well to serve customers with stringent performance and reliability requirements.
