SimpliSafe, Audi, & Lowe's Take Home Top Honors At Connected World Awards

CHICAGO, March 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Wireless alarm leaders SimpliSafe Home Security took home top honors at the annual Connected World Awards. The Connected World Awards "recognize excellence in achievement across a spectrum of markets and applications," and are awarded to products that help consumers thrive in an increasingly connected world. This is the latest in a string of triumphs for SimpliSafe, which was also recently named a CNET Editor's Choice product and an Angie's List Super Service Award Winner, and is the fastest-growing home security provider in the nation.

Connected World's search for companies that have "successfully leveraged M2M in order to solve a critical pain point within their business" resonated strongly with SimpliSafe CEO Chad Laurans. "The process of choosing, buying, installing, and maintaining a home security is normally chock full of pain points—in fact, it's pretty much all pain points," Laurans explained. "That's why I created SimpliSafe. With the technology that's out there today, there's no need for all the hassle and expense traditionally associated with protecting your home."

SimpliSafe's seamless integration of wireless technology with careful product design and great customer service makes them a banner example of modern M2M success. Their security systems are easy to purchase direct online, easy to self-install, and don't require contracts or telephone lines. Integrated apps allow immediate system control from anywhere in the world, while the variety of sensors—from smoke detectors to temperature monitors to glassbreak sensors—promises all-encompassing protection. "SimpliSafe means no more overpriced systems, no more middlemen draining your time and wallet, no outdated landline connection that burglars can cut, and no contracts holding you down and costing you thousands," Laurans explained. "Just smart technology and smart business practices, combined to provide great value for all types of homeowners."

Connected World Magazine focuses on M2M technology and connectivity innovation, and provides industry titans and consumers alike with cutting-edge information about these growing fields. The Connected World Awards, presented annually at the Connected World Conference, "honor companies that have successfully leveraged M2M in order to solve a critical pain point within their business." Other companies recognized this year include Audi, Lowe's, and Rand McNally.
