Phyn Announces $12M Additional Investment from Joint Venture Partners

Belkin International and Uponor

LOS ANGELES – May 9, 2019 – Phyn, the leader in intelligent water solutions, today announced a $12M investment from its parent companies Belkin International and Uponor. The new investment will be used towards ongoing research and new product development, growing its footprint in the US, and continuing its expansion into global markets.  

“Phyn has had a remarkable start to the year with our expansion into Europe, and exciting partnerships with insurance providers and municipalities,” states Ryan Kim, CEO, Phyn. “This new round of funding is a validation of our current leadership position in the smart water solutions market and paves the way for us to continue to seize the incredible growth opportunities that lay before us.”

The investment comes on the heels of Phyn’s launch across the European market. In addition to the U.S. and Canada, Phyn Plus now brings its intelligent water management to the smart home experience for customers in Finland, Sweden, France and Spain, with Germany and other countries to follow later this year. On the domestic front, Phyn is partnering with local government entities to advance water conservation efforts including a rebate program with Southern Nevada Water Authority in Las Vegas, and a commercial pilot with the City of Santa Fe, New Mexico. As part of this pilot, Phyn Plus units have been installed in restaurants throughout the city to help business owners conserve water, prevent plumbing-related issues and save on operating costs while providing valuable data driven insights to the utility and city managers.

Phyn Plus, Smart water assistant shutoff is a powerful smart home device that continuously monitors a home’s entire plumbing system to detect leaks, conserve water, and save money. Utilizing patented machine learning technology, the device measures tiny changes in water pressure – 240 times a second – to detect plumbing issues (i.e. freezing pipes, pinhole leaks or catastrophic bursts) in real time and can remotely shut off the main water supply to prevent costly damage. Phyn Plus provides granular detail on water usage allowing homeowners to view water consumption across fixtures such as sinks, toilets, showers, and sprinkler systems all through the Phyn app. Homeowners can also ask Amazon Alexa about their water consumption and even turn off their water using voice commands.

Phyn is a joint venture between Belkin International and Uponor. With this investment, Phyn will continue to be equally owned by Belkin International and Uponor.

達互連願景 貝爾金攜智能物聯新品驚豔CES 2019

資料來源: Zol.com.cn https://m.zol.com.cn/article/7071127.html

January 10, 2019

2019國際消費電子展（CES2019）盛大開啟啦，作為備受業界矚目的國際科技盛會之一，今年的CES大展吸引到超過4500家展商參與。其中知名網路廠商貝爾金也攜眾多新品亮相，為與會者帶來更多元化、智慧化的連接體驗。

CES2019盛大開啟

作為近年來CES大展上的一項重要分類，智慧家居類產品與技術每年都能吸引數千種新產品的投入與展示，今年自然也不例外。而在去年已被鴻海子公司鴻騰收購的貝爾金則繼續以獨立品牌在智慧物聯技術上不斷探索，並憑藉Linksys、Wemo、Phyn等主要品牌持續發力。在本屆CES展會上，貝爾金不僅推出了新款三頻網狀網無線路由器--Linksys Max Stream AC2200（MR8300），還展示了最新的WeMo智慧控制系列，以及Phyn Plus智慧水流檢測裝置等智慧家居解決方案，吸引大量觀眾駐足圍觀。

貝爾金展臺

貝爾金公司的業務於 1983 年始創於美國加州霍桑 (Hawthorne) 一家車庫裡，該公司是周邊產品的全球領先廠商，為電腦、數碼和移動產品的使用者提供創新的連接技術。貝爾金公司創始人Chet Pipkin在創建貝爾金的時候，願景是通過人性激勵產品的發展，讓人們享受科技帶來的力量和優勢，所以，長期以來，貝爾金一直以使萬物互聯為追求目標。如今，Chet Pipkin更喜歡“全球化的思考，實際落地執行”來對待貝爾金所做的每一件事情，正是由於如此的想法和做法，使得公司收穫了與目標相符的成果。

2018年3月，鴻海在香港的子公司鴻騰精密科技宣佈以8.66億美元並購美國消費電子製造商貝爾金。鴻騰精密科技CEO Sidney Lu介紹到，在收購貝爾金後，使得貝爾金擁有更強大的供應鏈支援。因為貝爾金在推出產品的時候，往往優先考慮用戶的使用體驗，使用後的回饋，所以在兩家公司合併後，貝爾金可以依託於鴻騰的供應鏈、生產製造能力，使其在產品的設計、品質、應用體驗等方面，在市場中更加具有競爭力。

貝爾金展臺

放眼全球，隨著網狀網Wi-Fi的興起，貝爾金憑藉旗下的Linksys Velop陣容已迅速成為該市場上的重要參與者之一，並且成為蘋果官方商城內唯一合作的Wi-Fi系統品牌。而在CES2019大展上，我們也看到其最新推出的Linksys MR8300網狀網路由器。該路由器支持三頻段Wi-Fi（1個2.4GHz 802.11n和2個5GHz 802.11ac），整機併發無線速率可達2200Mbps。外置4個帶波束成形的可調天線，可為使用者提供廣闊的信號覆蓋。後面則搭載4個千兆有線LAN埠，以及1個USB 3.0埠，便於網路存儲等外設產品的連接與共用。這款新路由器的定價為199.99美元（約合1363元人民幣），已可在國外的百思買和亞馬遜上購買，官網更有20美元的優惠（實售價179.99美元）。

在展臺上，還能看到針對智慧家居領域推出的WeMo智慧控制系列，包括WeMo 3路電燈開關、WeMo調光器、WeMo Mini智慧插座和WeMo Insight智慧插座等新品。而這些新品最大的優勢即可直接相容Apple HomeKit協定，使用者通過iOS設備如蘋果iPhone或直接與Siri通話進行管控，無需再借助之前的Wemo Bridge配件了。據悉，這些新品將在2019年春/夏在Wemo網站上發售，其中的3路電燈開關售價則為49.99美元（約合341元人民幣）。

WeMo智慧控制系列

此外，貝爾金公司還分離出其中一個團隊，創造了PHYN品牌。PHYN主要研究用戶如何通過水壓，來判斷人們生活的習慣、生活的狀態、以及生活中出現了哪些問題。現今，人們都希望能夠監控、測量、管理、預防家中發生的狀況，PHYN所做的努力是通過水壓來判斷。如何實現？就像圖中顯示，將家中的水管安裝PHYN的檢測裝置，通過水流的波形可以判斷出用戶什麼時候使用洗菜、什麼時候沖水、什麼時候洗澡等等，或許某一天晚上，你發現家中的老人並沒有用水，會不會出現什麼狀況，可以及時回應，這對檢測家中的狀況極其重要。

PHYN智慧水流檢測裝置

Chet Pipkin認為這是一種非侵入性的測量方法，有時候，用戶可以選擇家中安置攝像頭來監控整個家，當有些用戶會認為家中有攝像頭心裡不安，用戶會困擾家中攝像頭帶來的隱私問題，所以選擇一種舒適的方式來將使用者與家連接起來，這就是貝爾金公司的願景。

當然Phyn Plus智慧水流檢測裝置不僅僅能夠關注家人使用水的狀態，還可以安裝到家裡的主水管上，用於檢測自來水洩漏，並可自動關閉水源防止洪水氾濫。它還能監測用水量，並向使用者提供相關節點的資訊。使用者通過智慧手機APP或Amazon語音助手Alexa就能控制它。可以說，該產品非常適合物業管理公司或希望裝備現代智慧家居的新住宅建築商選配。目前這款產品已在北美開售，售價為850美元（約合5769元人民幣）， 歐洲也即將到貨，敬請期待。

除了上述三大品類外，今年Belkin還展示了很多周邊配件，如新型Boost Charge Lightning和USB-C電纜，可最大限度地提高耐用性和強度。有些甚至提供Quick Charge 4.0技術，可以通過相容的手機更快地充電。今年夏天還要推出可為iPhone使用者提供直接Lightning介面的Rockstar耳機，更高版本也將包括USB-C等等。

作為智慧產品應用的重要場景和領域，家庭生活相關領域早已成為各類參展廠商的必爭之地。而貝爾金憑藉多年的技術積累，新穎的智慧產品設計，無疑會為廣大消費者的家居生活帶來更多的舒適與便利，並且此種預期已從CES2019展會上得到了有力印證。

Belkin who merged with Foxconn subsidiary dealing with Apple genuine products is unveiled at CES 2019

January 11, 2019

At CES 2019, Belkin exhibited the USB - C to Lightning cable.
The price is 25 to 29 dollars (about 3000 yen to 3500 yen) and it will be released this spring

Kevlar fiber with high durability is used for covering the cable. Terminal part is also molded as one piece. Though USB - C to Lightning cable which was not quite approved from Apple, third - party product finally appeared.

Recently, Belkin was bought by Foxconnn Interconnect Technology (FIT) last March and it is under FIT, along with brands like Linksys, Wemo and Phyn. At the CES 2019 venue in Las Vegas, USA, FIT CEO Sidney Lu and Mr. Chet Pipkin, founder and CEO of Belkin, both appeared in the booth and corresponded to the media (top of the article: left Mr. Chet, right is Sidney).

FIT is a subsidiary of Foxconn, a manufacturer that manufactures genuine Apple accessories such as cables, power supplies and earphones that come with the iPhone. Mr. Sidney is involved from the founding of Foxconn, after 20 years of working, he spun off and launched FIT in 2013. Mr. Chet says that he founded Belkin on his motto "Make the technology easy to use," and it has been scaled around the world.The common concept of both is "connecting (connection)." The aim is to expand the scale of the group based in Asia based on this timing when wired was the wireless era. When asked about the division of roles between the two parties, FIT says product direction, management, and manufacturing, and Belkin says it will promote innovation through branding and software development.

On the other hand, is it fair for other third parties since Belkin merged with FIT? The question comes to mind. Mr. Chet said "(for C to Lightning cable) other third parties will be released at the same time." In fact, the schedule around that is scheduled in the past MFi (Made for iPod, Made for iPhone, Made for iPad) It seems to be done to the fair even if we look at the release timing of the product.

Nonetheless, the company Belkin itself is originally close to the Apple, and there are many Apple Store limited items and so on, and cables and the like that are not released by the Apple themselves are arranged in directly managed shops with Belkin.

Although it does not explicitly say, FIT will continue to manufacture genuine Apple goods, so it seems that the advantage of the company which put wireless field in hand increases more and more.

In addition to the C to Lightning cable at the CES venue, many unpublished products in Japan were unveiled.
