 El mundo antes de EasyMesh

• Protocolos propietarios entre fabricantes

• Soluciones de Retail
– Los consumidores atrapados con un fabricantes
– Se desaprovecha el Wi-Fi del gateway del operador

• No orientados al operador se servicios

– No tienen gestion remota
– No interoperan entre fabricantes
