IOT & Smart Home

TRENDS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Wi-Fi has become an essential utility in the residential market, alongside water and power. The increasing array of smart home products indicates a substantial growth in Wi-Fi usage.

Beyond sensors and actuators, Wi-Fi 7 and 6E are expanding the scope of connected and smart homes. This includes applications like security cameras and smart home devices, aiming to enhance home life by providing added security and convenience.

Businesses specializing in Wi-Fi network enhancement should strategically positioned to meet the growing connectivity needs of smart homes, providing improved reliability, speed, and coverage.

BUSINESS BENEFITS

Consumers rightly demand high-performance Wi-Fi networks for seamless home device use in work and learning scenarios, requiring minimal setup. Stability, security, privacy, and Wi-Fi sensing have become fundamental prerequisites for residential Wi-Fi, forming the basis of consumer expectations.

This project focuses on redefining wireless technologies cost-effectively for Smart & Connected Homes, leveraging Wi-Fi 6E benefits, paving the way for Wi-Fi 7, and exploring the role of Edge/Cloud AI/ML in smart home applications to address the rising demand for seamless connectivity.

EXPECTED DELIVERABLES

This project is designed into 2 phases:

Phase 1: Thought Leadership and Positioning

• Develop a comprehensive white paper showcasing the latest wireless technologies in smart homes.
• Present real-world use cases illustrating the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in Smart Home 2.0 architectures.

Phase 2: Future Exploration and Implementation:

• Expand the project scope by creating an extended document exploring the future of IoT and Smart Home 2.0 implementations.
• Include Proof of Concept (PoC) and Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) to introduce innovative new products to the market.
