SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ayla Networks, whose agile Internet of Things (IoT) platform makes it easy for manufacturers to deliver secure, connected products, today announced it has been included in the list of "Cool Vendors" in the Internet of Things report by Gartner, Inc.
“Gartner knows how important it is that manufacturers of all kinds of products have the right IoT solution to help turn their products into connected ‘things,’” said David Friedman, CEO and co-founder of Ayla Networks. “The market for Ayla’s IoT platform has accelerated dramatically this year compared to last year. Today’s largest manufacturers are making plans to bring to market connected things, and we believe Ayla’s platform is front and center in these plans.”
Over the past year, a number of leading manufacturers of appliances, connected home and smart building products have selected Ayla’s end-to-end IoT platform as the best and fastest way to deliver connected products to their end customers.
