What was the increase in customer engagements for Inseego's 5G FWA products in the second half of the year
le with lower speeds and higher latency of legacy technologies. Next, let's talk about fixed wireless access. In the first half of the year, we released a series of 5G FWA products including two indoor products and two rugged outdoor products, which were certified for use in many markets globally. We also just released a new industrial 5G gateway purpose-built for vertical markets. Response has been extremely positive, and we believe 5G FWA will be a major revenue driver for us moving forward. In addition to anchor channel partners who've been quick to adopt our portfolio, we secured four product awards with operators in the U.S., Australia and the Middle East. Also note that we now have five 5G products certified by both T-Mobile and Verizon including hotspots and FWA. These new products are the primary drivers of the dramatic increase in customer engagements, and they will be instrumental in driving revenue growth in the coming quarters. Let me highlight three factors that are driving the adoption of these 5G products. First, the 5G networks continue to be rolled out at an aggressive pace, and operators are looking to quickly capitalize on this newly added network capacity. This is reinforced by the work-from-anywhere paradigm and a growing enterprise customer pool. Second, the breadth and depth of our 5G portfolio is resonating with customers. Our partners and customers tell us that Inseego products bring out the best in their networks. No other vendor has the performance of our 4G and 5G solutions. Not only are Inseego solutions fast, but they are extremely reliable and proven to deliver consistent throughput for long periods of time. And our new fixed wireless outdoor products can also sustain better connection at exceptionally long distances. In addition, our products are built with a security-first mindset with multiple layers of security built in our proprietary hard and operating system software, which is at the core of all of our devices. In this environment with ransomware and security breaches dramatically rising, everyone is coming to the realization that security is one of the killer apps for 5G. The combination of performance and security is unique to Inseego and creates a highly differentiated, competitive advantage. To put it simply, no other company empowers users to connect wirelessly with confidence like Inseego.
Third, our strategic decision last year to increase our investments in go-to-market is yielding fantastic results. I'm very pleased with our performance and momentum across all geographies, all market segments and all products. We're building a strong pipeline of 5G customer opportunities across many enterprise segments and our global markets. Allow me to now go over some of the use cases that are driving this incredible growth in user engagement for our FWA products. The work-from-anywhere shift across the board has increased the demand. When the pandemic began, business continuity or connect first was paramount and often meant that security considerations took a backseat. This created significant vulnerabilities to an enterprise's overall network security posture. Now as we come out of the pandemic, we're seeing demand extend beyond work-from-home as enterprises look to create more flexible work environments for their workforces. Our FWA portfolio is a natural choice as it improves on the already impressive capabilities of our mobile hotspots with stronger antennas, better heat dissipation that allows for 24/7 use and centralized cloud management. Another growing use case is the branch office or remote location connectivity. Whereas in the past wireless was used as a backup, the capabilities of our 5G products allow enterprises to make wireless their primary source of broadband. For example, we are working with household name retail outlets but deep inside shopping malls, a heavy equipment manufacturer wanting to implement digital PIN application at a remote location and a global airline to light up secure wireless connectivity at all their gates, just to name a few.
