European Startup Ajax Profile - They "Stand Against Evil"

Author: Dan Gelinas, Published on Jan 03, 2019

European intrusion detection startup Ajax Systems proclaims:

How are they standing against evil? And what are the differentiators and potential roadblocks for this self-described "disruptive" company?

Based on our interview with the company, we look at:

  • Proprietary wireless protocol 'Jeweller' and its claimed nearly 10x farther range
  • Monitoring options
  • Product aesthetics
  • Multi-channel distribution
  • Where they are sold
  • Pricing
  • Large commercial offering coming
  • Competitive advantages and challenges
