In 2015, the company completed the sale of the SafeMove Mobile VPN product line to Bittium Oy who continue to market the product as Bittium SafeMove.[5] In 2016, Smith micro Software acquired Birdstep Technology AB, the software development and marketing arm of Birdstep Technology ASA (OSO: BIRD), for $2 million.[6][7] The components of Birdstep's Smart Solution Suite were integrated into Smith Micro's NetWise platform, which provides solutions for connection management on wireless networks, Big Data analytics and credential provisioning and management.
