Turkey-based Wi-Fi specialist AirTies has announced plans to acquire Technicolor’s in-home Wi-Fi management software business Wireless Doctor for an undisclosed sum. Technicolor’s Wireless Doctor, previously known as Wi-Fi Doctor and Conductor, is a suite of cloud-based performance management software, embedded decision logic, and apps used by service providers to support field technicians, network engineers, customer care agents, marketing personnel, and data analysts to improve the in-home Wi-Fi experience of their subscribers.
As part of the deal, AirTies will acquire the Wireless Doctor software portfolio, related intellectual property, around 30 employees from Technicolor, and gain access to key relationships with existing Wireless Doctor customers and partners. The acquisition will be used to complement and integrate with AirTies’ Remote Manager, a cloud-based optimisation suite that provides real-time visibility and historical performance analysis to manage the consumer Wi-Fi experience.
The Wireless Doctor team is currently based in Belgium and will remain so after deal closure, said AirTies, which also announced the opening of a new product innovation and operations office located in Paris to support increased demand for its products and services.
