the afternoon. question. Thanks for taking Good

If in specifically dive if specifically, one, this clarity And where really relevant going months see around swing? I into more First us us in indication would are that these maybe and can your give into be what can back that looking, you Todd, then helpful. or was I theme moving very into of boards XG more the XG is quarters various stages a truly in deployments. what that any an can provide topic. can perhaps there’s would you full shipping be broader earlier Tom later for and be pieces if might the you remind

Tom Edman

future. And the I informs always think the past Sure.

about station demand, base equipment so follow, so we think of happened course, PCB what moves XG forward. a as standpoint, in demand from And you demand as rollout the

today, so probably business our And so of look – that climbed, networking/ about is In business revenue. XX%, about to the half the one-third you our up that our moved at that to remember of PCB about if piece networking/communications peak the business And telecom. you of if XG, communication networking/communications our XX% that business, of moved one-third look business. demand up at you of we

was you So – terms over of period. – informs three-year – approximately think I that I peak it and occurred that a XG. a in about would climb expect over

up particularly more requirements rollout expect we bit of and looking period, Anaren we of extended little say in at And XG the a also I and that it base bandwidth that if see or antennas move of the lower XG, on to The the is moving we be the won’t do peak. MIMO then looking we – latency, on probably which XG. an antennas and would for bandwidth, of in be wireless be the longer think some rollout if about So take to combination and up also they’re in centers you’re a I on benefit micro addition to in components in the saw right? PCB, used station being and it peak it, have cells. to now urban the at rollout. a you then that expect there that longer the Anaren the is will that also piece we’ll would what I that station, is that of to so business bit a see Now complexity, XG in antenna a And initial the expect terms used little bringing won’t being steep called base reason thing, than be than should we’re in going we that focus given from good

much the pretty by as is So now board you the built see providers. infrastructure the component requirements service across upon are

that revenue is flow step-up infrastructure. allows very limited in of initial terms And providers that’s really build because step-up And much continue and seen what on past service longer what to to starting the station a of then that so on with that’s and that to grow has base now roll XG rollout continue as XG. top that naturally moving we’re the into well XG they see XG Anaren peak, certainly

with see you with different, or what legacy versus So dynamics with Anaren would PCB situation. different pure TTM there the

what So expecting. hopefully, we’re a that gives feel you of

Sean Hannan

great. That’s

little And prepping so station a pieces, I’m assuming for that and antennas demand early down? these that’s further some getting of those you’re kind and field some then initial shipments the around are where really of tests orders for, base

Tom Edman

correct. That’s

out for of top and that build-out prototyping on I think antenna seeing we’re – base and initial then test some seeing being test, stations rolled are really we’re that.

lot a again, that’s going early So of on. testing

Sean Hannan

question That’s of here, the and over-interpreting that okay. helpful. may then some momentum I healthy next there. defense, Great, And very have be aerospace you

or Anaren us? doing? of that say, margin here you influence acceleration insight to – what could little you either either the the in how you’re any with road, what this transaction? an offering with there kind combined of that any segment, at ask, bit the top versus share down thinking wanted And time margin on were inherent announced Anaren Just is winning there what model dynamics Any that you this has on is within positively its opportunity organically or that or could own been a

Tom Edman

Sure.

the – inclusive on hitting also climbed, think Just what our backlog a to course, declined but what excited last on a can core you’re despite see, having of very see. I tremendous quarter again, And has bit. And you of overall, Anaren been I program I’ve little shipping Anaren, quarter. that’s business

takes what momentum anything, course, side, been on we’re – that’s RF absolutely the real combination it strong impact I generally Anaren revenue – engineering but revenue So are had at revenue, what to our – there’s course, synergy to into of takes into a expected the plan in with And revenue say seeing we seeing aren’t of turn revenue which engineering, the efforts. is can folks initial funded the us roll road. usually, the expecting. build solid is several be that we which To opportunities. But we funded for on down even we the years it and beyond gives offers optimistic – synergies And revenue. if from synergy – yet, of to engineering just reason engineering have

is, looking I make can say side, we piece cost as course, chain of it, that start, tell the that the bringing Anaren bring the update course, there. to supply can leveraging in-house potentially you initial this. the to promising. as certainly But the I we’re and The TTM side on related of is of the continue synergies very as onto of additional approaches progress of looking we’ll and is of So at margin tied very, your at piece of we well what some operational can you, this what

– synergy there’s forecast. cost So some there’s opportunities a are contemplated again, our there that, by

Sean Hannan

Great. much. Thanks so

Tom Edman

Thank you.

next to Paul Coster with go We’ll JPMorgan.

Paul Coster

Thanks.

the the been aerospace of some. But is I discern a can we from of growing is outside anything Anaren SKUs backlog, proportion color defense? significant, have then and the asked Any from and in Is Is products? questions there higher-margin quite which backlog, of it think my most please? towards it? it

Tom Edman

impact backlog Those and year-on-year Thanks, That then of backlog. Anaren on the what the – absolutely Anaren backlog. The is combination in biggest correct. the – and is Yes. you’re our into two are defense change the Paul. reasons the seeing there a bringing the for aerospace

Paul Coster

time converting revenue? business, have to process is of there on Anaren-related whole Do i.e. visibility the lead more a into you generally longer

Tom Edman

the Very much XX-day we side our we in calculations. backlog defense course, provide had and for terms you, window visibility has so. a use beyond always of longer and program the for backlog, the stretches backlog of why that’s of aerospace of which business, figure The one that reasons

that TTM, visibility even better to designing customer, beyond complete visibility given orders the placed the you and specification is the defense. because a looking that with the we’re then of absolutely, stack for for of look into get gives design, in at even program. So brings business model and And engagement Anaren if predominantly and rollout engagement a that that, better in aerospace and turn as the capabilities course, early the then earlier

I profitability. us. see can standpoint also, for So absolutely, a And the think you development it’s again, impact the immediate a quarter our positive in on from visibility

Paul Coster

Last question, seeing? customers? Or it this your it portfolio? network broad across you’re of that Is a on whole couple the maybe is how telecom concentrated XG and adoption is

Tom Edman

Yes.

for customers days, Of – relatively direct course, these of limited customers telecom us. set

out at, customers, inclusive looking primary really ZTE you’re four global three, customers. if So you look the there, so three of globally,

the pretty say across customers. there I’d activity is so broad And those

Paul Coster

you. Thank Okay.

Tom Edman

you. Thank

Operator

And in back Edman queue, with turn call Tom to would the like remarks. no with questions any to over or closing further I additional the

Tom Edman

some close to – Thank summarizing like the I you. points the points earlier. that by just made of I’d

second delivered First, for of XXXX quarter we the provided. ahead had results the of guidance we

diversification are We continue and and well, our execute working. differentiation to strategies

revenue are product to synergies just I’d of goodbye. the by year as you, excited the investors, the and, course, We thank like discussed of ramps your second front of in the that finally, Thank Anaren. the half continued well in integration our our And support. as us and arising for I employees, of you, from customers our

Operator

This does conclude today’s thank conference. We your you for participation.
