OEM & EMS

Reliable DRAM supply for telecom-grade hardware.

Working with an Indian EMS partner, ZION supplies DDR memory in volume for telecom-grade hardware - 5G radio units, baseband boards, and edge compute - where stable lead-time and a single supplier of record matter as much as the underlying spec.

The brief

A domestic EMS building telecom hardware needed a memory supplier that could (1) hold a JEDEC-grade spec across consecutive build runs, (2) commit to a quarterly forecast without missing weekly drops, and (3) absorb a few percent burst when the OEM ramped a new SKU.

02

How ZION supports it

Production is scheduled against a rolling 13-week forecast, with each weekly drop confirmed two weeks in advance. SMT placement, programming, and 100% final-QA happen on the same Daman floor as the rest of the catalogue, so quality variation across batches is minimal. When the OEM ramps a new SKU, we run a qualification batch first, validate against the target platform's QVL, then scale.

03

Why it matters

For a telecom-grade OEM, a missed weekly drop is more expensive than the modules themselves. Domestic supply with a documented forecast cadence removes the imports / customs / lead-time variance that puts those drops at risk.
