Cirrent and AirTies Wireless Networks have partnered to integrate Cirrent's ZipKey technology into AirTies' WiFi Mesh Extenders and set-top boxes, providing automatic WiFi provisioning of ZipKey-enabled devices such as home security systems, printers, appliances, streaming audio and video devices, toys and others.
"We are constantly looking for ways to enhance the in-home WiFi experience for service providers, and that includes working with exceptional partners like Cirrent," said Philippe Alcaras, CEO, AirTies. "By partnering with Cirrent to support automatic WiFi provisioning of IoT devices, we will be able to simplify installation for today's super-connected homes."
Rob Conant, CEO of Cirrent, said: "Consumers demand simplicity. ZipKey-enabled products from AirTies and consumer electronics companies are secure and easy to use: Customers plug them in, and they automatically connect to the cloud with no user intervention. This is the kind of delightful user experience that leading network service providers aspire to deliver to their subscribers."
Cirrent and Airties are demonstrating the combined solution at the Broadband World Forum in Berlin.
