With
consumers demanding more and more connectivity from the
electronics devices they bring into the home the Connected
Home is becoming a reality. In addition to connectivity
among devices in the home consumers also want to leverage
the always-on capability of broadband Internet services
to bring additional capability to devices in the home
and to access the home remotely.
The Connected Home however is more than providing connectivity.
Consumers also want to have services and multimedia content
associated with their devices. And service providers want
to have management and support capabilities that work
seamlessly across device types.
This talk will discuss elements of the Connected Home
from connectivity and devices to services and applications.
