“Together, we aim to create the next generation of the helpful home—based on new security solutions that will better protect and connect people to their homes and families.”
The tie up will create ‘ADT + Google’, a security solution and platform for the consumer IOT world. This is a positive move for both companies, though it appears ADT investors are very happy with the link up. Share price in the security firm jumped 68% in the opening hours of trading.
