Existing investors Liberty Global Ventures, Shaw Ventures and Jackson Square Ventures also participated in the latest round, Plume said.<br/><br/></p><p>Plume said it will use the new funds to speed the deployment and integration of its product in ISP networks and third-party hardware, toward new products, and for the company’s expansion in Silicon Valley and Europe.</p><p>Comcast revealed itself as an investor in Plume last month when it launched Xfinity xFi, a cloud-based home WiFi management platform. Tied in, Comcast said it had a partnership with Plume to develop low-cost, auto-configuring “pods” that plug into power outlets and connect to the home’s gateway to establish a whole-home WiFi mesh network. Comcast will announce pricing when it launches those xFi-optimized pods later this year.</p><p><a href="https://www.nexttv.com/news/comcast-launches-xfi-invests-plume-412667" data-original-url="https://www.multichannel.com/news/comcast-launches-xfi-invests-plume-412667">RELATED: Comcast Launches ‘xFi,’ Invests in Plume</a></p><p>Tyson Marian, vice president of strategic development at Comcast Cable, has joined Plume's board.</p><p>"Delivering fast and reliable connectivity in every corner of the home with an intuitive user experience is a key initiative for operators,” Marian said in a statement.
