Wireless standards

Exceptional changes are underway in the home

networking market and a wide range of home systems.

Everything from thermostats, light switches, door locks

and smoke detectors will become networked. Born from a

collective desire to better control our environment and cut

our energy consumption, this shift is widely predicted to

bring significant market growth opportunities. In the UK,

over £2.4 billion is expected to be spent on home energy

management devices. However, such devices will have to

work with existing home networks and interoperability

between devices from different manufacturers is essential

for commercial success.

According to IMS Research, over 600-million

households worldwide have home networks installed with

computers, media players, smart TV’s, printers, network-

attached storage (NAS), internet gateways and a growing

number of accessories such as mice, headsets and

keyboards. Like the home computing networks they join,

which are standardized on WiFi, Ethernet and USB, these

new home-automation, energy management, care and

security (HAECS) networks must standardize to adopt an

interoperable technology that gives whole home coverage

and long battery life. Furthermore, this standard must be

reliable, secure, scalable and simple to set up.Digital
