Ayla Networks and Ever Win International Corp. Partner to Accelerate Innovation in Home Automation and Connected Consumer Electronics

SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 7, 2014) - Ayla Networks, a leading provider of Agile Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, and Ever Win International Corp., a leading OEM serving mobile communications and consumer electronics companies, have unveiled a program to help manufacturers bring connected home and lifestyle products to market.

The first product that will come of the partnership is a Wi-Fi enabled smart plug. Any home appliance or electronic device connected to this smart plug will automatically be connected to the Internet through Ayla's Cloud Services, allowing consumers to remotely dim lights, manage security cameras or other tasks with a few swipes on a smart phone.

The Ever Win smart plug is comparatively smaller than other smart plugs on the market, saving tight space near wall sockets. The smaller size and innovative design will also allow Ever Win and its partners to dramatically lower the retail price of these products and expand the market. The official debut of the new plug will be at CES 2015 in January.

Ever Win plans to develop a broader array of connected home and lifestyle products with Ayla Networks that it will offer to its brand name customers.

After examining several IoT platforms, Ever Win chose to work with Ayla Networks because of the company's track record working with a wide range of manufacturers, Ayla's best-in-breed technical capabilities, and global footprint. Ayla also has dedicated resources for integrating and maintaining data privacy and security, scalability, and ongoing maintenance and support, and technology upgrades.

"We were looking for an enterprise-grade IoT solution to help us create a Wi-Fi connected product quickly, securely, and economically. We were particularly impressed with the support structure that the Ayla platform provides, and the unmatched expertise the team has to support our connected device strategy," said Tri Le, senior director of business development for Ever Win. "Ever Win has plans to design and build a much broader suite of home automation and connected lifestyle products that support today's consumer lifestyle. The smart plug is just the beginning. We are very excited about this partnership with Ayla, and are looking forward to many more projects to come."
