Jeff Bezos has started off the new year with quite a bit of wheeling and dealing. Just today, Amazon announced that they were acquiring the unique Wi-Fi router company Eero. As of print, the terms of this deal have not been closed, but experts expect that Bezos’ paid a large sum.
Eero is a router company which works to ensure that your wireless signal stays consistently strong throughout every room of your house. As a result, they have pioneered a technology which will mesh Wi-Fi routers together, essentially blanketing your house in a strong wireless signal. This technology is proprietary to Eero, and Bezos coveted adding it into his arsenal of products aimed at improving domestic life.
The acquisition of Eero is Amazon’s latest smart-home product that they will add with their other companies including Blink and Ring. Experts believe that this purchase will be conducive to Amazon continuing their dominance in the home-security market as well as releasing new, innovative lines of products.
