Comcast was an early investor in Plume and also Plume’s first major customer in the United States. Comcast uses Plume’s software as part of its Wi-Fi mesh offering. The software rides on Comcast’s xFi Pods and helps eliminate residential Wi-Fi dead spots. It also provides security, parental controls, and access controls for each connected device. It can also prioritize devices and optimize the Wi-Fi traffic in the home.
Plume targets its Wi-Fi platform to service providers, and today Plume said it has more than 150 service provider customers, including Charter, Bell Canada and Liberty Global. Plume’s software powers more than 20 million households around the world and is currently averaging about 1 million new home activations each month, at an accelerating rate.
