“Enea Edge IP is extremely strategic for inq. We have been working steadily towards being a global edge leader and have embarked on having the edge as part of our core strategy.
“While inq. has been mainly focusing on edge applications such as AI, SDN, NFV, and IoT, with the IP licenced from Enea inq. will now be able to enter the edge orchestration space,” said Andile.
According to findings by Ripples Nigeria, this licensing agreement would allow inq. to build its roadmap, which can also be offered to other Enea clients.
