Smith Micro Celebrates 40 Years of Delivering Software Solutions to the Telecommunications Industry
“A forty-year legacy as a technology company is a tremendous achievement, and a testament to our employees’ ability to continually innovate and evolve to remain at the vanguard of technological advances through their vision, creativity, and commitment,” said Smith. “Businesses want solutions that create value, spur growth, simplify processes, and are scalable, and that ultimately improve their results and the lives of their customers. Whether it’s delivering high-quality solutions like our market-leading SafePath® Digital Family Lifestyle™ platform, connecting people through our CommSuite® voice messaging platform, or helping to execute retail market strategies in the most innovative fashion with our ViewSpot® retail display management platform, Smith Micro has never lost sight of the need to deliver products that bring success and value to our customers, partners, shareholders, and the Company. And we will continue to innovate, adapt, and grow by doing exactly that in the future.”
Smith Micro has grown into a global company with offices in six different countries that serve customers spanning three continents. Since entering the market with its Stock Portfolio System, which enabled downloading of stock quotes via an analog modem, followed by its Quick Link data and fax product with analog modems, and its subsequent Quick Link connection manager product, which provided remote connectivity software that turned a cell phone into a wireless modem, the Company quickly established itself as a leading name in data connectivity. The Company has provided a plethora of software solutions ranging from its Stuffit data compression products to digital communication solutions like HotFax in the late nineties, which allowed for the transmission of faxes, to consumer-focused digital graphic design products enjoyed by hobbyists, professional artists and everyone in between during the 2010s.
With over twenty acquisitions accelerating the growth of the business, Smith Micro has continually recognized and responded to the growing importance of an increasingly digitally connected world in offering solutions to mobile network operators worldwide. Today, the Company fulfills its mission and the needs of its customers with sustainable, scalable platforms that monetize everyday consumer needs and behavior - the integrated, comprehensive Digital Family Lifestyle solution, SafePath, the multi-faceted CommSuite voice messaging platform, and the innovative smart retail display management system, ViewSpot.
The SafePath platform has facilitated digital family safety applications being deployed to millions of devices since its launch in 2017. SafePath 7.0, the latest release of the digital parenting platform, launched with a leading Tier 1 carrier in 2022 bringing an improved set of features and functions to the already robust solution. As the premier provider of digital family safety solutions for all US Tier 1 carriers, Smith Micro is expecting to achieve the consolidation and efficiency of having all of its customers on the SafePath platform in 2023, which will allow carriers to focus on the continuous growth of their digital family safety solutions.
ViewSpot is on target to expand its current use to over 100,000 devices globally with new customers employing ViewSpot experiences and business analytics in their retail operations. In addition to current customer base, ViewSpot is currently being integrated into yet another leading
