Company Overview

Ceva develops and licenses silicon and software intellectual property (IP) that powers smart edge devices across consumer IoT, automotive, industrial, infrastructure, PC, and mobile markets. The company's technology portfolio includes AI processors, wireless connectivity (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, UWB, cellular), and sensor fusion (vision, radar, audio, motion) IP blocks.

Ceva-powered devices ship at over 1 billion units annually, with more than 20 billion devices shipped to date. The company is publicly traded on NASDAQ (CEVA) and has R&D centers in Israel. Key customers include NXP, Nokia, LG, Microchip, Nordic Semiconductor, and Sonova.

Dual-use relevance is substantial: the same edge AI and sensor fusion IP that powers consumer smart devices and automotive sensors can be integrated into defense systems for edge computing in tactical radios, military IoT sensor networks, defense radar processing, and autonomous weapon system embedded AI.
