Adam Hotchkiss and the last room in the house
Before he helped build Plume, Adam Hotchkiss worked on the optical networks carrying data over long distances. His next challenge was closer to home: making the connection survive the journey to the room where someone actually needed it.
Plume
Plume is a Palo Alto-based software company that turns home and small-business WiFi into a managed, self-optimizing service. Its cloud platform - delivered through internet service providers rather than direct to consumers - uses machine learning to continuously tune connectivity, secure connected devices, and layer on consumer apps like parental controls, motion-sensing, and guest access. Built on the open-source OpenSync framework, Plume powers tens of millions of locations and more than a billion connected devices worldwide for operators including Comcast, Charter, Liberty Global, and Vodafone.
