Ceragon's CEO, Doron Arazi, commented: "During the fourth quarter, a large North American customer deferred scheduled deliveries that we now expect in 2026. We don't expect order cancellations related to this timing shift, and it increased our backlog exiting 2025. Bookings in the region remained strong during the quarter, and our backlog in North America nearly doubled compared to the end of 2024."
