    Jeremy Kwan's questions to INSEEGO (INSG) leadership

    Jeremy Kwan's questions to INSEEGO (INSG) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    Inquired about the mechanics of the enterprise win, cash flow expectations given the rise in accounts receivable, catalysts for the new FX4100 product, the long-term FWA vs. mobile revenue mix, and the potential for direct monetization of software services.

    Answer

    The enterprise deal was specific to Q2. The rise in accounts receivable is a positive sign from strong FWA product uptake at quarter-end, and the company is balancing cash flow with inventory investment for new launches. FWA success is driven by technology and go-to-market execution, and it is expected to become a larger part of the revenue mix over time. Direct monetization of software is a future goal after the immediate priority of API integration to expand the product's addressable market.
