The two companies are committed to working together in collaboration with the aim of enabling consumers to use each and every wireless device in an up-to-date condition. In the past several years, Redbend has brought its mobile technology expertise into the automotive and IoT industries. The amount of software in automobiles is growing just as the amount of connected devices is growing. With such significant growth in the software and wireless connection environment, a cutting-edge software management solution is necessary.
