For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the total revenue increased by $3.7 million to $20.3 million compared to the same period in 2023. This increase was primarily attributed to higher subscription revenue from new and existing commercial contracts and higher service revenue.

In contrast, the total operating expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $1.2 million to $33.9 million compared to the same period in 2023.
