Cirrent and Ayla Networks announce a strategic partnership. The companies have partnered to integrate Cirrent's ZipKey technology into the Ayla IoT platform to make it easy for Ayla's customers to bring ZipKey-enabled products to market. Through partnerships with internet-service providers, Cirrent allows ZipKey-enabled products to connect automatically to the internet, making IoT products more secure and easier to use.
Ayla Networks is the number-one platform for accelerating the development, support and ongoing enhancements of connected products for the Internet of Things (IoT). Offered as a cloud platform-as-a-service (PaaS), the Ayla IoT platform delivers flexibility and modularity that transforms how companies develop, manage and service their connected products.
Cirrent improves ease of use and security for connected products through partnerships with large internet-service providers. Companies making connected products use Cirrent's solution to improve the customer experience, reduce support costs and returns, and increase security. Cirrent's platform provides connected product companies with Wi-Fi onboarding, product lifecycle management, and tools for ongoing support. Through Cirrent's partnerships with network operators, ZipKey products connect to the cloud automatically in more than 120 million homes.
"Smart home manufacturers depend on Ayla to help them launch amazing '5-star' products," said David Friedman, CEO and co-founder of Ayla Networks. "We believe that 'smart' does not have to mean difficult to use, especially as it relates to getting products securely connected to the network. Cirrent shares our vision of seamless connectivity, and we are very happy to partner and add the ZipKey option as a path for our customers to get that great out-of-the-box experience."
"Many leading global companies are using the Ayla IoT platform as the foundation for their connected products," said Rob Conant, CEO of Cirrent, "We are delighted to bring the ease of use and security of ZipKey to these companies."
