An Inseego-authored Reader Forum piece argues that fragmented enterprise wireless networks are driving up costs as AI workloads grow.
In this RCR Wireless News Reader Forum piece, Inseego argues that consolidating the wireless edge is becoming an operational necessity.
The author describes how hardware, connectivity and network management end up spread across disconnected platforms, as at a retail chain running private 5G, separate carriers and assorted IoT links.
Enterprises are spending more because these networks cost more to run, especially when AI needs clean, unified, real-time data from every device, and when data crosses fragmented infrastructure, latency spikes and packet loss slow or stall workflows.
Fixed wireless access is cited as an example of a network being asked to do more than it was built for.
