• Management flagged a sharp year-over-year hardware revenue drop tied to a large cell phone provider contract, with hardware revenue from that customer at USD 93,000 versus USD 876,000 a year earlier, while monitoring revenue from the same customer rose to USD 167,000 from USD 69,000.
• Loeb said talks continue on follow-on deployments, with incremental hardware revenue from that customer expected at USD 350,000 to USD 500,000 in 2026.
