In its 40 years, Smith Micro has honed deep expertise in embedded software for networked devices, policy-based management platforms, and highly scalable mobile applications and hosted services.
Founded in 1982, Smith Micro’s humble beginnings included its first product, Stock Portfolio System, a solution for downloading stock quotes using an analog modem. As the burgeoning field of remote connectivity grew, Smith Micro introduced its QuickLink® remote connectivity software solution. As fax modems became pervasive, so did QuickLink among modem vendors such as IBM, AT&T, Motorola, Hayes and US Robotics while Smith Micro became one of the leading names in fax and modem connectivity.
By the late ‘90s, dial-up internet access was being replaced by higher speed cable, DSL and wireless broadband Internet technologies. Smith Micro responded by re-applying its network connection expertise to new wireless and mobility applications including its first large-scale mobile network deployment of QuickLink Mobile with Verizon Wireless in 2001.
Through a series of engineering advances as well as over twenty acquisitions accelerating the growth of the business, Smith Micro continues to recognize and respond to the growing importance of our digitally connected world in offering solutions to mobile network operators and other businesses worldwide. Today, Smith Micro fulfills its mission and the needs of its customers with sustainable, scalable platforms that monetize everyday consumer needs and behavior.
