Scout Security Limited announced the larger expansion in its white label partner group to- date with the signing of a Statement of Work with Lumen Technologies, Inc. Scout's medium-term goal is to penetrate 10% of Lumen's 5 million subscriber base. The achievability of this goal is guided by the rollouts existing internet service provider partners over the past 12 months. Per the Statement of Work (SOW), the parties have agreed upon a smart security platform buildout encompassing all functionality necessary for Lumen to provide home security services, video cloud storage and smart home controls to Lumen subscribers.

The solution will leverage existing whole-home WiFi equipment from Lumen, fibre internet, Scout video products and Lumen technology licenses. Scout expects to launch the smart security and control platform under Lumen's brand in the first half of current year 2023. The resulting solution will incorporate Lumen's branding with key system integrations that allow for universal control and centralised billing.

Per the Statement of Work, Lumen will pay USD 246,000 (AUD 357,000) for Design, Development and Integration fees to Scout across engineering and testing milestones specified in the SOW, envisioned to span roughly three months. A commercial launch would see Lumen paying monthly License and Service Fees for each active system over the term of the engagement, which includes the fees for cloud video storage and professional security monitoring provided by Scout. The parties will work together to immediately commence the development and go-to-market implementation of Lumen's custom solution, including mobile apps for iOS and Android as well as mutually identified integration opportunities in the key smart home areas of alarm monitoring, video cloud storage, service integrations and packaging.
