Amazon acquires home mesh WiFi systems start-up Eero


eero

Amazon and Eero have announced that both the companies entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Amazon will acquire eero. The home mesh WiFi systems set up in minutes and blanket every room. Eero products are already available on Amazon and have over 4.6-star product rating on Amazon.com.

Eero uses multiple access points that work together as a system to blanket a home in high-performing, reliable, and simple home WiFi. Thanks to the Eero app, users can set up the system in under 10 minutes, share their network, program parental controls, and run speed tests on demand. Additionally, eero communicates with the cloud to receive instructions and updates. This means eero systems are self-updating, and self-fixing. However, the completion of this transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.

Dave Limp, SVP of Amazon Devices and Services said:

We are incredibly impressed with the eero team and how quickly they invented a WiFi solution that makes connected devices just work,“We have a shared vision that the smart home experience can get even easier, and we’re committed to continue innovating on behalf of customers.

Nick Weaver, Co-Founder, and CEO of eero said:

From the beginning, eero’s mission has been to make the technology in homes just work. We started with WiFi because it’s the foundation of the modern home. Every customer deserves reliable and secure WiFi in every room. By joining the Amazon family, we’re excited to learn from and work closely with a team that is defining the future of the home, accelerate our mission, and bring eero systems to more customers around the globe.
