Summary
Neither Amazon nor Eero revealed how much money the tech giant paid in the acquisition, but Eero had raised $90 million in venture capital since its founding.In case there was any doubt that the acquisition is part of a larger smart home strategy, a quote in Amazon's press release from SVP of Amazon Devices and Services Dave Limp named that as a reason right off the bat:We are incredibly impressed with the Eero team and how quickly they invented a WiFi solution that makes connected devices just work. Amazon hasn't said much about what it plans to do with Eero yet, but you can bet that the products will be used to make Amazon's total dominance of the home more likely.You must login or create an account to comment.Join the Ars Orbital Transmission mailing list to get weekly updates delivered to your inbox.
