Investing.com - ADT Inc. (NYSE:ADT) announced today that it has acquired Origin Wireless, Inc. (also known as Origin AI) for $170 million in cash, with the purchase price subject to customary adjustments. This acquisition integrates Origin’s AI sensing platform and over 200 global patents into ADT’s home security ecosystem.

This technology aims to reduce false alarms, improve municipal compliance, and enhance coordination with emergency responders. Its applications include occupancy-based automation, in-home elder care solutions, and health monitoring for connected homes.

ADT expects to launch new products incorporating Origin AI sensing technology starting in 2027. The company will hold a conference call on March 2 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss financial results for Q4 2025 and the full year, as well as provide more details about the acquisition.
