Undoubtedly, one of the companies that has been growing the most in recent years is Amazon, and it is that not so long ago the popular firm began to join the world of smart home automation thanks to devices such as the Echo with Alexa, and what It is true that they have not done badly, but apparently they have plans to continue on this same path.
And it is that, recently Amazon reportedly acquired popular Wi-Fi device firm eero, in order to further improve the services it offers and, in this way, not depend on third-party firms for this, something that is most interesting and that adds it as a "competitive rival" for Apple.
Amazon buys popular firm eero
As we have been able to know thanks to the information from 9to5Mac, Apparently from Amazon recently they would have bought the Wi-Fi device firm eero, and as they have officially indicated, "they are very impressed with the eero team", and they think that this could be a good start to launch your own routers and get users to start watching them game, as Dave Limp has officially indicated in a new press release:
"From the beginning, eero's mission has been to make technology in homes work," said Nick Weaver, co-founder and CEO of eero. “We started with Wi-Fi because it is the foundation of the modern home. All guests deserve a reliable and secure Wi-Fi connection in every room. By joining the Amazon family, we are excited to learn from a team that is defining the future of the home, accelerating our mission, and bringing eero systems to more customers around the world. "
In this case, eero is one of the most popular firms in this sector today and for this same reason, the purchase by Amazon is most interesting. In addition, we must also bear in mind that, after this movement, Apple begins to lag a bit behind, as its two most direct competitors in the world of home automation, Google and Amazon, already have their own routersWhile they a while ago completely abandoned the so-called AirPort.
