Thrive Smart Systems Newsroom
Thrive Smart Systems makes irrigation wireless. Here you’ll find our company facts, product milestones, distribution news, and awards, everything press, partners, and researchers need in one place.
Thrive Smart Systems makes irrigation wireless. Its Thrive EVO™ valve system retrofits existing irrigation valves with no trenching and no new control wire, and the Thrive AirLink™ Cloud Controller runs entire sites from a phone over the Amazon Sidewalk network, so it isn’t WiFi or cell based.
Founded in 2018 and based in American Fork, Utah, Thrive products are sold through irrigation distributors across the United States. The company was founded by Seth Bangerter (CEO), Bryan Brittain, and Skyler Rowley.
