Industry Trends
For over two decades, the mobile industry has experienced tremendous advancements and growth. As the largest technology platform in the world, mobile connectivity has changed the way we work, the way we live and the way we connect with each other. The scale and pace of innovation in mobile technology, especially around connectivity and computing capabilities, is also impacting industries beyond traditional wireless.
We are working with leading global service providers and enterprises in the mobile and FWA ecosystems to further develop, commercialize and accelerate the availability of 5G-based solutions, which represent the next generation of mobile technology. 5G enables intelligent connectivity and is a catalyst for innovation and acceleration of the fourth industrial revolution across a wide range of vertical markets, including manufacturing, agriculture, utilities, industrial automation, retail, education, government, and healthcare. The widespread adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) and advancements in enterprise applications along with an increasing dependence on mobile applications and always-connected machines and operations have become impacted by the constraints of 4G LTE technology. Addressing these needs is the primary driver for mobile network operators to accelerate the rollout of 5G communications in order to keep pace with expected network demands.
5G addresses the constraints of 4G LTE technology with wider spectrum bandwidths, multi-gigabit speeds, and ultra-reliable low latency, in addition to other advancements. As the fifth-generation wireless broadband technology, 5G is based on the Release 15 standard defined by the Generation Partnership Project (“3GPP”), an international consortium responsible for the development of mobile standards. The key operating ranges for 5G spectrum globally are in the sub-6 GHz (below 6 GHz), and millimeter wave (28 GHz and 39 GHz) bands, with speed offerings greater than 1 Gigabit (“Gb”) per second and sub-millisecond latency, providing better coverage and signaling efficiency.
The technological advancements of 5G technology, combined with many of the innovations developed for 4G LTE, provide a scalable and adaptable solution for a variety of use cases, which enable the creation of new industries and services, such as autonomous vehicles, telemedicine, live ultra-high-definition video streaming, cloud gaming, edge computing, and countless industrial applications such as augmented reality and robotics for smart manufacturing.
The development of these new services and applications results in a growing demand for high-speed data, increased capacity, and low latency requirements which are key factors contributing to the accelerated growth and roll-out of 5G networks. 4G LTE is expected to continue to operate alongside 5G as a major part of the wireless ecosystem. Based on industry reports, such as the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (“GSMA”) Intelligence’s report The Mobile
5
Economy , and the biannual Ericsson Mobility Report we believe that 4G and 5G networks will coexist and remain complementary for many years. This means that operators will be able to service a significant share of the data traffic on 4G networks, leaving 5G with the dual remit of absorbing overflow capacity and underpinning consumer and enterprise services that require higher speeds and/or lower latency. As such, most 5G devices are expected to include multimode support for 4G and Wi-Fi, enabling service continuity where 5G has yet to be deployed and simultaneous connectivity across 4G and Wi-Fi technologies, while also allowing mobile operators to utilize current network deployments. At the same time, 4G is expected to continue to evolve in parallel with the development of 5G and become fundamental to many of the key 5G technologies, such as support for unlicensed spectrum, gigabit LTE user data rates (currently available from Inseego) and cellular IoT with connectivity designed to meet the needs of ultra-low-power and low-cost applications.
Further, based on reports from analyst firms including GSMA Intelligence and IoT Analytics, we expect that the number of IoT connections could grow to 27 billion by 2025. As of September 30, 2021, there were approximately 2 billion IoT devices using cellular connectivity worldwide (IoT Analytics, 2021). By 2023, global 4G connections will reach just under 60% of total connections (GSMA, 2021). Meanwhile, 5G migration is gaining pace. According to Ericsson’s Mobility Report, November 2021 Edition, this migration to 5G is expected to be faster than that of 4G following its launch in 2009, reaching 1 billion subscriptions over 2 years sooner than the 4G rate of adoption. By the end of 2027, Ericsson’s Mobility Report forecasts 4.4 billion 5G subscriptions globally, accounting for 49% of all mobile subscriptions, which means that 5G is expected to become the dominant mobile access technology by subscriptions in 2027.
As a core member of the 5G ecosystem, we continue to work closely with wireless operators, chipset suppliers, and infrastructure vendors around the world on 5G developments and trials in preparation for the roll-out of commercial network launches. As of December 2021, the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA) reported 464 operators in 139 countries/territories had confirmed investments in 5G networks. Based on reports such as those by GSMA Intelligence, we believe that 5G will bring a number of enhanced benefits not available using 4G networks including massive numbers of both fixed and mobile wireless devices with differing speed, bandwidth and quality of service demands, allowing the networks to provide support for “massive numbers of IoT devices and wireless edge technologies” for use cases including manufacturing, augmented and virtual reality, and autonomous vehicles. We are increasingly diversifying our business as this 5G opportunity comes into realization and our addressable market expands.
The adoption of IoT technology continues to grow as companies across a wide range of industries are leveraging cellular IoT technologies to increase efficiency, gain better customer insights, facilitate compliance and build new business models. IoT growth is expanding broadly, and adoption is particularly strong in the telematics and transportation industries and in industrial IoT markets such as smart city infrastructure, utilities and energy management. We are building IoT capabilities by leveraging business models that monetize usage on most major carrier networks. We have developed IoT solutions that address key market needs for asset tracking applications, telematics, SD WAN failover management, retail, remote monitoring and various other industrial automation applications. In addition, our cloud solutions can turn the data that our solutions provide into actionable insights for our customers so they can develop new services and create revenue growth.

We develop and control the software that goes on our devices.
Employees
At December 31, 2021, we had 507 employees of which 500 were full-time employees. We also use the services of consultants and temporary workers from time to time. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining unit and we consider our relationship with our employees to be good.
Human Capital Resources
Our Culture : Culture is critically important to our growth and performance. We are driven by our values of Accountability, Sense of Urgency, Market Driven Innovation, Customer Focus, and Integrity. We are committed to creating a world class employee experience through leadership development, career planning, open two-way communications, total compensation, and positive work environment.
In our latest engagement survey, our employees answered favorably to questions on Work Environment & Communications where the average score was over 90%.
Diversity & Inclusion : Our Come Together initiative was launched in 2020. Come Together gives employees the opportunity to participate in workstreams whose goals are to create a culture of belonging. Each workstream is led by employee volunteers with a passion for diversity and inclusion and reach beyond Inseego team members. The different workstreams are: Community Engagement, Employee Development, Recruiting, Women in Technology, and Affinity Groups. In 2021, we launched our first global mentoring program, connecting employees across the globe in a meaningful and productive way.
Talent : We believe that Talent is key to our success. It starts with finding and placing the right Talent for the right jobs at the right time. We communicate our value proposition in a clear and concise manner. The expected growth in the 5G market creates a unique opportunity for candidates and employees of Inseego to have a career at the forefront of a dynamic industry. Our company size and culture allows employees to build and expand their skill set in ways that will enrich their careers. In 2020, we initiated Talent Reviews with Senior Leaders to holistically evaluate the talent across the company. This will enable
10
the company to focus on accelerating development for those who are top performers and strengthen the talent pipeline. In 2021, we piloted a Manager Forum to build leadership capability in order to motivate and retain critical talent at Inseego.
Work Life Harmony : We believe that it is important to provide Work Life Harmony and our practices can vary globally. In the U.S., employees have Friday ‘summer hours’ where two hours in the afternoon are blocked from meetings to ensure that there is “work” and “think” time. This time can be used to catch up on tasks, conduct a review of the past week, and plan for the following week. During 2020, we launched an Unlimited Paid Time Off program for exempt employees in the U.S. This program gives team members the flexibility to take time off that makes sense for them and frees employees from the confines of traditional accrued time off policies.
In 2020, we also launched the Health & Wellness Initiative in the U.S. to help employees find ways to create more balance in their lives. As part of this initiative, all employees were given a complimentary Calm App membership that includes useful resources designed to strengthen mental fitness and provide tools to tackle stress. Recognizing that burnout was becoming a global issue, we launched several company-wide events in 2021 to enhance wellness. These include providing complimentary self-care kits to employees, fitness challenges and a virtual company 5/10K.
Data & Insights : In 2020, we consolidated multiple human resource systems to a common platform. This will allow us to deliver real time employee self-service and data and insights to management. The migration to one platform will enable the human resources team to obtain valuable employee insights and enact changes more quickly.
Governmental Regulations
Environmental Laws : Our products and manufacturing process are subject to numerous governmental regulations, which cover both the use of various materials as well as environmental concerns. Environmental issues such as pollution and climate change have had significant legislative and regulatory effects on a global basis, and there are expected to be additional changes to the regulations in these areas. These changes could directly increase the cost of energy, which may have an impact on the way we manufacture products or utilize energy to produce our products. In addition, any new regulations or laws in the environmental area might increase the cost of raw materials we use in our products and the cost of compliance. Other regulations in the environmental area may require us to continue to monitor and ensure proper disposal or recycling of our products. To the best of our knowledge, we maintain compliance with all current government regulations concerning our production processes for all locations in which we operate. Since we operate on a global basis, this is a complex process that requires continual monitoring of regulations and compliance effort to ensure that we and our suppliers are in compliance with all existing regulations.
Other Regulations : As a company with global operations, we are subject to complex foreign and U.S. laws and regulations, including trade regulations, tariffs, import and export regulations, anti-bribery and corruption laws, antitrust or competition laws, data privacy laws, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), and environmental regulations, among others. We have policies and procedures in place to promote compliance with these laws and regulations. To date, our compliance actions and costs relating to these laws, rules and regulations have not resulted in a material cost or effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. Government regulations are subject to change, and accordingly we are unable to assess the possible effect of compliance with future requirements or whether our compliance with such regulations will materially impact our business in the future.
