Aerial’s solution integrated in this environment will allow operators to quickly deploy and benefit from the features the joint solution provides, thanks to a simple software upgrade.

Mr David Grant, CEO at Aerial Technologies, commented: “We are delighted to partner with SoftatHome to enable Aerial’s Peace of Mind and motion recognition platform to their clients.
