Much hinges on the performance trials by the 3 big Chinese 5G vendors. It is interesting to see the fpga applications go deeper into the core functionality and effectively triples the potential for sales. Also interesting that the ACEnic-100 is at the top of the current specification requirements. Likely many will be ACEnic-50 sales.
We have two strands at play here. The third party vendors overlaying their code on Ethernity ACEnic-100 and those who are looking for Ethernity to turnkey. Despite third party code it doesn't mean that they won't buy the virtual products from Ethernity. They are simply integrating themselves the Ethernity solution.
Once installed the royalty grave train leaves the station plus fees for new products, enhancements and any other changes of which there will be many.
You need to understand that this is just the system to enable everything. Using this system is actually where the market is for Ethernity, currently they are focused on the deployment of 5G but 5G is the access point only.
Beyond their are multiple wearables, sensors passive and reaction, local applications like factories, remote applications. These and many more my imagination cannot secure will require edge compute not just edge access.
Sorry to sound boring but Ethernity haven't even started yet.
