(Nasdaq: MOBX), a leading fabless semiconductor and connectivity firm in the defense and aerospace sectors, has announced ongoing discussions with Peraso, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRSO) regarding a possible strategic transaction. This follows the mutual confidentiality agreement previously established between the two companies to facilitate these discussions.
