Smith Micro Software (Nasdaq: SMSI) has announced the availability of SafePath Connect, a family safety solution built on its existing SafePath platform and distributed through app stores by Smith Micro.

The product is designed to allow partners, including mobile carriers, to offer family safety services to consumers without requiring complex technical integration. Partners can deliver subscription entitlements to end users while Smith Micro handles app store distribution.

SafePath Connect includes real-time location tracking, smart alerts and notifications, parental controls, and screen time management tools. The company said the offering differs from its existing white-label SafePath deployments, which are sold through wireless carriers and typically require months of implementation.

"It gives partners a streamlined way to deliver meaningful family safety services to their audiences, providing a fast-to-market alternative while reducing operational complexity, creating a larger market opportunity for Smith Micro," said Tim Huffmyer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Smith Micro.

The Pittsburgh-based company said SafePath Connect is intended to extend its platform to a broader range of partners and customer segments beyond its traditional carrier-focused model.
