Unprecedented surge in demand for company’s 4G and 5G MiFi® mobile hotspots, USB modems and wireless routers to address work from home needs
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 8, 2020-- Inseego Corp. (Nasdaq: INSG), a pioneer of 5G and intelligent IoT device-to-cloud solutions, today announced preliminary revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 and revenue outlook for the second quarter ending June 30, 2020.
Since early March, Inseego has experienced growing demand for its entire range of mobile connectivity products as the COVID-19 pandemic spurs higher work-from-home, distance learning, and telehealth trends. The company’s flagship 4G and 5G MiFi mobile hotspots are seeing significant orders from existing as well as new customers.
For the first quarter of 2020, the company expects total revenues will exceed current consensus of $52 million. The company plans to release these first quarter financial results on May 6, 2020.
For the second quarter, based on the expansion of its manufacturing capacity as a result of current and expected orders, Inseego anticipates revenues in the range $75 to $85 million. The company expects to ship mobile broadband products to all three of the largest US domestic mobile network operators in the second quarter. Furthermore, the company expects to see increased gross margins in IoT & Mobile Solutions based on the ongoing cost reduction initiatives and volume leverage.
“Inseego is known for delivering the latest high-speed wireless technologies that are highly reliable with enterprise-grade security features, which is the reason we are seeing a surge of inbound calls from mobile operators worldwide,” said Inseego Chairman and CEO Dan Mondor.
“Working with our supply chain partners, we’ve dramatically increased production capacity to meet the surge in demand for our products, and we’re confident in our ability to quickly scale up even further to meet the needs of our customers worldwide.
“At the same time, operators are rapidly deploying high-speed, high-capacity 5G networks to keep pace with the constant, year-over-year growth in mobile data traffic, and are turning to Inseego for our secure, leading-edge 5G solutions,” said Mondor.
