What Sets Us Apart?

SmartLink is a carrier class level of service that utilizes an advanced gateway to manage multiple smart devices, using programmable rules that are flexible and user friendly. The “Mega” warehouse home improvement stores and others offer smart devices, however each device may have its own operating application, which leaves you, the customer, to learn multiple software management packages. SmartLink is your “single-source gateway controlled system” that can grow from a few devices within the home to over 100.

Carrier Class Service

Carrier class service versus warehouse store design is the difference too. In telecommunication, a “carrier grade” or “carrier class” refers to a system hardware or software component that is extremely reliable, well tested and proven in its capabilities. Although the available bandwidth connection to your home has and is increasing, the data caps and usage fees remain in many cases. SmartLink gives you more control over when and how information is sent to your tablet or smartphone. This allows you to manage your bandwidth usage so data cap costs are controlled.
