3 terms

mmwave technical

"proven mmWave receiver technology"

mmWave is the very high-frequency portion of the radio spectrum (roughly 24–100 GHz) used for ultra-fast wireless links. It matters to investors because it enables much higher data speeds and capacity for services like 5G and fixed wireless, but its short range and sensitivity to obstacles make network deployment and device support more expensive and complex—factors that influence revenue potential, capital spending, and competitive position.

customer premises equipment technical

"related customer premises equipment (CPE) and access point (AP) solutions"

Customer premises equipment (CPE) is the hardware—like modems, routers, set‑top boxes, and business phone systems—installed at a customer’s location that connects their home or office to a service provider’s network. Investors care because CPE represents a predictable source of sales, rental and service revenue, affects how easily customers upgrade or switch providers, and influences ongoing maintenance costs and product lifecycles; think of it as the appliances that enable and lock in utility usage.

point-to-multipoint technical

"Point-to-multipoint: High-capacity, fiber-like connectivity"

Point-to-multipoint is a network design where a single transmitter or hub sends data, signals, or services to many receivers at once, like a teacher speaking to a classroom or a water main feeding multiple homes. For investors, it matters because this architecture can lower deployment and operating costs, scale service to many customers quickly, and influence revenue potential, competitive reach, and regulatory or spectrum requirements for companies in telecom, broadcasting, and wireless services.

Building on FastMile™ mmWave expertise to support carrier evaluations of emerging Licensed Band Radio deployment models

VIENNA, Oct. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inseego Corp. (Nasdaq: INSG), a global leader in wireless broadband solutions, today announced its participation in carrier evaluations of Licensed Band Radio (LBR) technology and related customer premises equipment (CPE) and access point (AP) solutions designed to address emerging broadband deployment opportunities.

The initiative builds on the FastMile portfolio acquired from Nokia, which brought proven mmWave receiver technology, advanced RF and wireless engineering expertise, strategic carrier relationships, and extensive deployment experience across a broad range of fixed wireless access environments. As operators explore LBR technology, many of the deployment scenarios align closely with existing FastMile use cases, providing Inseego with a strong foundation to evaluate adjacent broadband opportunities and support future innovation in the category.

Licensed Band Radio technology combines the reliability of licensed mmWave spectrum with high-capacity wireless connectivity, creating new opportunities for operators to deliver fiber-like broadband performance while improving deployment economics. As part of this effort, Inseego is evaluating solutions based on the Qualcomm Dragonwing™ Point-to-Multi Point Platform and Qualcomm Dragonwing™ Point-to-Point Platform. LBR technology also has the potential to help operators around the world maximize the value of existing mmWave spectrum assets by enabling new broadband deployment models that extend the reach, utilization, and commercial potential of those investments.

As a strategic OEM of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Inseego expects to participate in carrier trials in key markets worldwide, including the United States, India, Latin America and Europe, as operators evaluate new broadband deployment opportunities enabled by Licensed Band Radio technology.

"As operators look for innovative ways to expand broadband coverage, increase capacity, and improve deployment economics, Licensed Band Radio technology is creating exciting new opportunities," said Ryan Sullivan, Chief Product Officer of Inseego. "The FastMile mmWave portfolio gives us a strong foundation of receiver technology, FWA expertise, and operator experience to build upon. As operators evaluate LBR technology, we have an opportunity to explore how adjacent deployment models can complement existing broadband networks and help address new coverage, capacity, and connectivity challenges."

"Licensed Band Radio technology has the potential to enable new broadband deployment opportunities by combining licensed spectrum with advanced mmWave innovation," said Gautam Sheoran, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Connectivity, Broadband and Networking Business Unit, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "We look forward to supporting Inseego and operators as they evaluate these emerging deployment models."

Addressing Emerging Broadband Deployment Opportunities

Current carrier evaluations are focused on two primary deployment models:

Point-to-multipoint: High-capacity, fiber-like connectivity for multi-subscriber broadband deployments.

Point-to-point: High-capacity licensed spectrum connectivity that can help operators extend network reach and efficiently connect locations where traditional broadband infrastructure may be difficult or costly to deploy.

These deployment models can help operators expand broadband access, accelerate service delivery, and improve the economics of network expansion. These use cases align closely with Inseego’s existing FastMile receiver, FWA gateway, and wireless broadband expertise, providing a strong foundation for ongoing evaluation and future innovation.

Inseego at Network X

Inseego will meet with operators, partners, and industry stakeholders during Network X in Vienna to discuss emerging broadband deployment opportunities and the company's expanding wireless broadband portfolio.
