DZS’s acquisition of ASSIA’s Expresse and CloudCheck software portfolios is a positive move
"DZS’s acquisition of ASSIA’s CloudCheck and Expresse software portfolios makes sense and demonstrates the revenue growth potential from software that optimises home Wi-Fi connections."
In May 2022, DZS (a vendor that has historically been focused on the fibre access space but with growing mobile x-haul and software portfolios) completed its acquisition of the Expresse and CloudCheck software portfolios from ASSIA for around USD25 million. Expresse is used to manage the quality of fibre and copper connections while CloudCheck software optimises in-home Wi-Fi connectivity. This article addresses the reasons behind DZS’s acquisition and assesses its merits.
