Mocana Acquires Mimas

SAN FRANCISCO -- Mocana, a software company that is enabling a secure networked society, today announced its acquisition of key assets of Mimas Technologies, Inc. and Mimas Technologies Pvt Ltd. Through the acquisition, Mocana is forming its first product development center in India located in Pune, and expanding its wireless expertise in securing all aspects of data communications for any connected device.

The acquisition further enables Mocana to differentiate its product portfolio to serve emerging market segments.

The data presented by Harbor acknowledges the high levels of growth in the device market and validates Mocana’s value proposition as a company committed to securing connected devices.

“The acquisition of Mimas will expand our reach globally and further enable the growth of our product portfolio for wireless and networking applications,” said Adrian Turner, CEO and president of Mocana. “This acquisition complements Mocana’s development team and also meets our objectives to accelerate Mocana’s growth by tapping into emerging global markets.”
