Our take
Smart devices within the home have become the norm, but Plume Design believes that this influx of revolutionary home tech is only as smart as the networks that support them. With many issues concerning smart devices, treatment is reliant on generic WiFi, unsafe networks, and expensive analysis. Plume Design remedies this with cloud-controlled internet platforms that are defined by the needs of the devices that use them.
With home office setups now the norm, Plume has fast become a necessary service for many small businesses and casual users. Its smart Wi-Fi networks are ground-level products upon which Plume offers more smart home services, and it now has more than a billion devices on its network.
With substantial funding behind it and laurels including recognition as one of the Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces, it appears that Plume is continuing on its upward trajectory post-COVID. It's keeping its networks fresh, too, with 2022 seeing it partner with OpenSync software agent SamKnows.
