Amazon has announced that it's buying mesh networking fim Eero. The company was founded in 2015 and is based in San Francisco. According to Crunchbase it employs between 51 and 100 people.

In January 2018, the company laid off 30 employees, around 20% of the company. It has raised around $90 million in four funding rounds so far.

The company's product is selling simple, powerful networking hardware that's easy to use. Eero says that you can take its product out of the box and have it up and running in 10 minutes.


It has two main products, a smaller repeater that plugs into a power outlet and a larger device that can cover 1,500 sq feet with Wi-Fi. The hardware scales so that larger houses can add more devices to provide comprehensive wireless coverage.
