LAS VEGAS, NV – (NewMediaWire) – January 5, 2022 – Minim, Inc., (NASDAQ: MINM), the creator of intelligent networking products under the globally recognized Motorola brand, today announced from CES 2022 that it is the first home networking provider to offer In-App Chat Support in the motosync app, powered by Minim. In addition, the company unveiled an expanded WiFi 6 mesh portfolio. Coming in Spring/Summer 2022, the Motorola Q11 AX3000 mesh WiFi system and Motorola Q14 AXE5400 mesh WiFi system will join the Motorola AX1800 mesh WiFi system launched last fall online in Amazon.com, Walmart.com, and BestBuy.com. Pricing at this time is undisclosed; however, Minim plans to launch the first-of-its-kind WiFi 6E Motorola Q14 at a price point that rivals WiFi 6 competitors.
“We’re excited to see Minim empower users with live in-app support to quickly and effectively resolve their own network issues,” said Elizabeth Parks, President of Parks Associates and host of CONNECTIONS™,: Smart Home Growth Strategies at CES. “Our research finds that 66% of US broadband households with a smart home device are interested in online tools that can help them solve challenges on their own, and this solution provides a unique and differentiated offering to help provide effective tech support.”
