To beef up its WiFi offering, Comcast has reportedly acquired PowerCloud Systems, which provides WiFi management and other networking services. The MSO reportedly paid less than $50mln for the CA-based company. VentureBeat quoted Tyson Marian, part of Comcast’s strategic development team, as saying the MSO will use technology from PowerCloud ’s Skydog router in conjunction with a combined router/modem Comcast has developed to better track what devices are coming in and out of a home network, “so you can connect new devices and manage your devices on a home network with heavy security.” The technology can also be used in the home to manage which users can gain access to WiFi, providing an extra level of security and detection capabilities.
