Management Comments

Davidi Jonas, Chief Executive Officer of Straight Path, commented, “Straight Path continued to execute on its strategic objectives. We continued our progress in several key areas.” Mr. Jonas continued:

“We actively participated in the FCC rulemaking proceeding as well as standard setting meetings, and will continue to advocate for rules so that the U.S. can lead in 5G and next generation millimeter wave service offerings.

We have made impressive progress at our Gigabit Mobility Lab, developing antenna technology for a 39 GHz transceiver. We hope to engage in testing in 2016, and to work with partners to develop next generation wireless technology in 39 GHz.

Our investment with Cambridge Broadband Networks is geared to open a new market at 39 GHz for point-to-multipoint solutions, and we anticipate a commercially available product in late 2016 or early 2017.

Our New York City 28 GHz license was renewed by the FCC for a 10-year term. Under the current rules, none of our other licenses are up for renewal until 2018 or later.

Straight Path IP Group won its appeal at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and subsequently the PTAB ruled in our favor against Samsung, LG, Cisco, and Sipnet, rejecting their challenges to the patentability of nearly all of the claims in our patents.

We are resuming patent enforcement in federal court. We have asked that the stays be lifted in our cases against Samsung and LG, and refiled suit against Verizon. We also intend to refile against Apple, Avaya, and Cisco in the coming weeks.”

Mr. Jonas concluded, “As we track our advocacy, technology development, and patent enforcement, we believe that our diligence, strategic planning, and entrepreneurial investments are paving the way for long term growth and value for Straight Path and its shareholders.”
