Inseego delivers $44M Q2 revenue above guidance, up 28% sequentially despite product delays

Inseego reported second quarter 2026 revenue of $44 million, exceeding guidance and marking 28% sequential growth and 9% year-over-year growth. Chief executive Juho Sarvikas attributed the strong performance to late-quarter orders from carrier customers anticipating memory cost increases in the second half of the year. However, these orders negatively impacted gross margin and are expected to reduce third-quarter ordering levels. Sarvikas noted the company has accelerated product development, launching multiple new mobile and fixed wireless access products across six products with three Tier 1 carriers for the first time in company history. Despite this expansion, Inseego's engineering processes struggled to support the rapid product introduction pace, resulting in delays that created a revenue gap the company will not fully recover in 2026.

Inseego Q2 revenue hits $44M but lowers full-year outlook on product delays and slower FWA recovery

Inseego reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $44 million, up 28% sequentially and 9% year-over-year, exceeding guidance. CEO Juho Sarvikas attributed the results to carrier customers purchasing ahead of anticipated memory-cost increases, adding $5 million to $6 million in incremental revenue. Product revenue reached $31.7 million, representing 72% of total revenue. Mobile solutions rose 26% year-over-year to $17.3 million, whilst fixed wireless access contributed $14.4 million. However, the company reduced its full-year outlook, citing product delays, slower recovery at its largest fixed wireless access customer, and lower software-services revenue. Non-GAAP gross margin was 34%. CFO Steven Gatoff said a large carrier deal pressured margins, but the company expects improvement to the high teens in the third quarter.

Inseego reports Q2 revenue of $44M, expands MiFi PRO M4 across all major US carriers

Inseego Corp reported second quarter 2026 revenue of $44.0 million, ahead of guidance, driven by diversification of its customer base and product portfolio. The cloud-first wireless edge company posted an adjusted EBITDA of $0.5 million and a GAAP net loss of $8.4 million for the quarter. The company achieved a key operational milestone by launching its refreshed Mobile product family, including the MiFi PRO M4, across all three North American Tier-1 carrier customers. Inseego expanded its working capital facility with BMO Bank from $15.0 million to $20.0 million. For the third quarter, Inseego expects revenue between $28.0 million and $35.0 million, with adjusted EBITDA in the range of negative $2.0 million to negative $1.0 million. Full-year 2026 revenue is projected at approximately $155 million.

Inseego launches unlocked MiFi PRO M4 M4000 with support for all three major US carriers.

Inseego launches unlocked MiFi PRO M4 M4000 with support for all three major US carriers. Key Points: * Inseego has released an unlocked, multi-carrier version of the MiFi PRO M4, marketed as the M4000, for use across North America. * The M4000 is almost the same as the previously released carrier-specific models, and comes with a Qualcomm X72 modem, dual-band Wi-Fi 7, Gigabit Ethernet, and two TS-9 cellular antenna ports. * The unlocked model has a $449 MSRP, which makes it the most expensive version, and puts it in direct competition with the Netgear Nighthawk M7 and GL.iNet Mudi 7. When Inseego first launched the MiFi PRO M4 earlier this year, it was only available in carrier-specific versions for AT&T and T-Mobile. A Verizon version came last month, adding mmWave support. RV Mobile Internet is not fans of carrier-specific devices, and RV Mobile Internet hoped Inseego would eventually release an unlocked model that worked with all three major carriers. That model has now arrived. Inseego has announced an unlocked, multi-carrier version of the MiFi PRO M4, now available at some major retailers with an MSRP of $449. Is this the flexible all-carrier hotspot mobile users have been waiting for? Let's dig into the details. Table of Contents Video version. The unlocked MiFi PRO M4 M4000. The new unlocked hotspot is marketed as model number M4000, joining the other carrier-specific versions: the AT&T (M4040), T-Mobile (M4020), and Verizon (M4330). The M4000 supports all three major US carriers as well as bands used in Canada and Mexico, making this a good choice for use throughout North America. Inseego says the device is certified for AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, which means customers can activate the M4000 directly with a carrier plan. Here are the supported bands: * 5G sub-6 GHz: n2, n5, n7, n12, n14, n25, n26, n28, n29, n30, n38, n41, n48, n66, n70, n71, n77, n78 * 5G mmWave: None * 4G LTE: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 17, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 38, 39, 40, 41, 48, 66, 71 It includes the core bands used by all three major US carriers for both LTE and sub-6GHz 5G. It does not support millimeter wave (mmWave) 5G bands (only the Verizon variant does), but this is not a major downside for most RVers, boaters, and nomads. mmWave has extremely limited range and is primarily deployed in dense urban locations, stadiums, convention centers, and airports. It also includes many international LTE bands, including 1, 8, 20, 28, 39, and 40, but these are not enough to make it a global device, and Inseego is advertising this for the North American market. Other specifications. The M4000 uses the same Qualcomm Snapdragon X72 modem as the carrier-specific MiFi PRO M4 variants, which is part of the Qualcomm Dragonwing MBB Gen 3 Platform, so all versions share the same design. Features include: * Dual-band Wi-Fi 7 on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz * One USB-C port for power and tethering * One built-in Gigabit Ethernet port * Two TS-9 external cellular antenna ports * Optional Inseego Connect cloud management * A battery-preservation mode and the ability to run without a battery Availability and pricing. So far, RV Mobile Internet has only seen the new hotspot available from 5GStore for $449. Inseego doesn't sell it directly, but RV Mobile Internet expect that it will be available at more vendors in the coming weeks. The price is in line with similar hotspots from Netgear and Gl.iNet, but is substantially more expensive than the carrier-specific variants. Here are all the variants with prices: * T-Mobile M4020: $199.99 * AT&T M4040: $209.99 * Verizon M4330 with mmWave: $299.99 * Unlocked M4000: $449 While the unlocked version is a substantial price premium, for its audience of nomads who live, work, and travel in vans, boats, and RVs, it usually makes better sense to have a hotspot that works with all carriers rather than be stuck with a single-carrier device.

The carrier-specific M4 variants are attractively priced and work well on their intended networks, but their limited band support makes them poor choices for users who regularly change carriers or want to use multiple cellular plans in the device. The unlocked MiFi PRO M4 M4000 is the best version of this hotspot for most of its audience, even at the substantially higher price. It's unfortunate that mobile hotspots remain one of the few cellular devices that still come in carrier-specific versions, but at least there is now an unlocked, all-carrier version to choose instead. The Netgear M7 offers far better eSIM and international options for $50 more, while the Mudi 7 offers substantially more hardware and networking flexibility in a larger package for around $30 less. The M4000's primary advantage over the competition is conventional hotspot simplicity, external antenna support, and enterprise-oriented management and security. For mobile users who want a dependable, all-carrier North American hotspot without the complexity of a full cellular router, the M4000 is worth considering. But users who need eSIM, dual SIM, international flexibility, and advanced multi-WAN features should carefully compare the Netgear M7 and Mudi 7 as alternatives. And RV Mobile Internet also recommend potential customers assess their needs, as a mobile router may be a better fit than a mobile hotspot.

Inseego announces largest acquisition in company history to more than double revenue

Inseego announced its Q1 2026 results alongside news of its largest-ever acquisition, aimed at transforming the company into a global wireless broadband leader. The company reported Q1 revenue of $34.3 million, up 8% year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA of $1.8 million and gross margins of 48.9%, all within guidance. CEO Juho Sarvikas said the acquisition will more than double revenues and expand operations from North America to Asia Pacific and EMEA. The deal includes a strategic partnership with Nokia covering go-to-market, AI and 6G development. The quarter faced challenges in fixed wireless access after a major customer overhauled its executive team and altered its enterprise strategy, creating disruption. Inseego is working to realign that relationship and expects improvement ahead.
