On August 20th, Beijing time, according to US technology website ArsTechnica, Samsung Electronics announced on Tuesday that it has acquired Quietside, an American air-conditioning distributor, to strengthen its smart home business. It is reported that Samsung has purchased a 100% stake in Quietside, but declined to disclose the price and other details.
Quietside, an air conditioner distributor, has about 500 stores in the United States, and mainly sells home and office air conditioners. This is Samsung's second acquisition in the Internet of Things following the acquisition of SmartThings, an American Internet of Things company, last week. SmartThings develops applications that allow users to monitor and control home devices and automate devices.
Samsung said in a statement: "Because air conditioning is a necessity in all buildings, including homes and offices, the acquisition of Quietside will help us develop our smart home business."
Smart homes allow users to control multiple home appliances through a mobile device, which has become an increasingly important area for technology companies such as Samsung. Samsung's goal is to surpass Whirlpool in 2015 and become the world's largest manufacturer of household appliances.
In the smart home market, from the current situation, Samsung has more advantages than Apple and Google. Before Samsung ’s two recent acquisitions, Google acquired Nest thermostat technology and smoke and carbon monoxide detection technology through the acquisition of Nest, and Apple acquired HomeKit technology that can help users control connected home appliances. However, the difference between Samsung and the latter is that Samsung itself is a consumer electronics company with a wealth of products (Samsung TVs, microwave ovens, dishwashers, etc.), and the mobile phone business is only part of him. Apple and Google can only be regarded as latecomers to the market, and there is no inherent advantage. Generally speaking, there is a lack of genes.
