3. The Smart Home
Phase 1 (Infra-Structure)
Phase 2 (Applications)
Phase 3 (Smart Home)
• MSOs drive the home gateway
penetration through the STB
enabled with gateway
functionality for sense and
control networks
 Conversion of stand-alone
home automation applications
into networked and Internet
connected sense and control
applications
 Cloud integrated small data
management systems using
multi-purpose sensors for
integrated applications
• Justification by replacement of
Infra-Red by RF-based remote
control equipment, via easier
installation, more functionality
and less service calls
 Leading applications are home
security/monitoring, home
energy/lighting/comfort and
care/assisted living
2012 –
