Or a Signal to Accumulate?<\/a><\/p>\n Sarvikas said Inseego is acquiring an \u201capproximately $200 million run rate FWA business\u201d and that the transaction effectively \u201cdoubles\u201d Inseego\u2019s revenue base, positioning the company as a global wireless broadband provider with a broader customer footprint across enterprise and consumer markets.

In addition, Nokia will make a $10 million direct investment in Inseego through a combination of common stock and warrants.
