A Look Back on 2019: Highlights, Achievements and Acknowledgements

It has been nearly two years since we launched CUJO AI Platform for network operators. This time has been extremely challenging, and exceptionally rewarding for all of us. This year, CUJO AI experienced immense growth that led to securing over 20 million households and more than 500 million devices, thus reaching unprecedented scale.

Let’s stroll through 12 months of hard work, earnest objectives and remarkable achievements that led us here.
