GCT Semiconductor Holding, Inc. (NYSE: GCTS) has made significant strides in its "2025 GCT year of 5G" program, aiming to achieve mass production and volume shipments of 5G products by the end of the fourth quarter of 2025. The company delivered initial 5G chipset samples to key customers, including Orbic North America and Airspan Networks, with successful testing underway [1].

During the second quarter of 2025, GCT Semiconductor reported financial results that reflected its ongoing focus on 5G technology development. Net revenues decreased by 19.0% to $1.2 million, while gross margin dropped to 32.0% from 62.7% in the previous year. Total operating expenses remained stable at $8.0 million [1].

The company has expanded its customer ecosystem and partnered with Iridium Communications to integrate the NTN Direct satellite service into its GDM7243SL chipset, as well as collaborated with G+D for embedded eSIM solutions for IoT applications. These partnerships broaden GCT's reach into the non-terrestrial network space and IoT markets [1][2].

GCT Semiconductor expects to commence production of the finalized inaugural 5G chipsets during the third quarter of 2025, with volume shipments to begin in the fourth quarter. The company's Chief Executive Officer, John Schlaefer, stated that the delivery of initial 5G chipset samples to lead customers marks a major leap forward in the company's transition towards mass production [1][2].

The company's financial performance and strategic initiatives indicate a strong commitment to the 5G market. GCT Semiconductor's ability to secure partnerships and deliver initial samples to key customers positions it well to capitalize on the growing momentum in the 5G market [1][2].
