PITTSBURGH–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Smith Micro Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMSI) today announced the availability of SafePath Connect™, a new family safety solution designed to help partners quickly offer trusted digital family safety services to consumers. Built on Smith Micro’s proven SafePath® platform, SafePath Connect delivers the same trusted real-time location services, parental controls, digital wellness tools, and family safety capabilities, while offering partners a simplified path to market. By leveraging app store distribution by Smith Micro, a broader range of partners can offer safety-focused experiences without the need for complex integration or development. The solution is designed to support modern family needs by bringing together location awareness, smart alerts, and flexible controls that help families stay connected in day-to-day life.
“I am pleased to announce the launch of SafePath Connect, representing an important evolution of the SafePath platform,” said Tim Huffmyer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Smith Micro. “It gives partners a streamlined way to deliver meaningful family safety services to their audiences, providing a fast-to-market alternative while reducing operational complexity, creating a larger market opportunity for Smith Micro.”
A Complete, Ready-to-Deploy Family Safety Solution
For many years, SafePath has been delivered as white-label offerings through wireless carriers. While this model provides a deeply integrated experience, it often requires months of implementation and meaningful investment. SafePath Connect extends the same trusted family safety capabilities through a streamlined deployment model, leveraging Smith Micro’s branded product while allowing partners to support promotion and customer acquisition. As a result, organizations can quickly and easily offer family safety services to their audiences, significantly reducing time to market.
SafePath Connect provides a comprehensive set of capabilities designed to support how families manage connectivity and digital experiences, including:
- Real-time location services to help keep track of where family members are throughout the day
- Smart alerts and notifications that provide timely updates on key moments like arrivals and departures
- Parental controls to guide device usage and content access at age-appropriate levels
- Screen time management tools to help establish healthy digital habits
These features are powered by the SafePath platform, a carrier-grade foundation that enables reliable, secure management of connected devices and digital lifestyles.
Built for Flexible Partner Offerings
SafePath Connect is designed for partners looking to engage consumers with minimal complexity. The solution is published to the app stores and distributed by Smith Micro and enables partners to deliver subscription entitlements to their end users to enhance their portfolio of service offerings and attract and retain family subscribers. The solution offers a fast-to-market option for mobile carriers and other partners seeking a simpler alternative to traditional, fully integrated deployments.
Extending the SafePath Platform
SafePath Connect reflects the ongoing expansion of the SafePath platform, extending its core capabilities into new product experiences designed for a wider range of users. By introducing a streamlined deployment model that enables organizations to quickly and easily offer family safety solutions to their audiences, Smith Micro is evolving how SafePath technology is packaged and delivered. This approach will allow Smith Micro to reach new markets and customer segments while maintaining a consistent foundation of reliability, scalability, and security across its portfolio.
