Service AggregationThe Future of the Networked Home

PC Environment / PeripheralsTV / HiFi / Digital TV / DVD / PVRTelephone SystemSecurity and Alarm SystemHome Automation System

Networked Islands in the Home...

... will grow, converge and eventually become one integrated infrastructure


Service AggregationSome challenges we have to face

Different local infrastructures in different homes

Dynamically growing and changing local infrastructures

Enabling specific services to be realized in short time for small segments of the market

Opening vertical solutions

Growing recognition of the networked home as one system and related expectations on usability


Service AggregationNext Evolutionary Steps

Connect local infrastructures via Service Geteways to a Gateway Management and Service Provisioning Platform (like a PC today is connected to an ISP)

Enhance broadband connectivity with a Service Offering delivered through a managed Service Gateway

Map Service Offerings to the capabilities of the local environment

Filling the Role of a Service Aggregator


Service AggregationWhat kind of Services are we talking about?

Non-network based services (e.g. delivery services)

Services in some backend that process data from the local environment or generate data for it (e.g. monitoring services, content push services)

Services that execute in the local environment (e.g. local GUI)

Communication & community services (e.g. video conferencing)

Standard information services (to be related to the local environment, e.g EPGs or weather info)

à combinations of the above


Service AggregationKey Elements of a Service Aggregator Platform

Platform features Gains

Shared usage of basic modules and functions by different services

Convenience; cost effective(Example: calendar, profiles, notification...)

Value Added Services based on contextual „knowledge“ accross different services

Convenience, new meta-services („active profile“; „ambient intelligence“)

Time to market; addressing many segments

Open platform for 3rd party services and CPE


Service AggregationTeleHome - a Project of Deutsche Telekom‘s Corporate R&D Division

TeleHome focuses on:

a platform in the net to manage access, services, gateways

a set of Core Services in the platform and on the OSGi Service Gateway that can be used by 3rd Parties

a set of services from different application domains

a web and a voice based portal

and a partner program

3rd Party Services


Each notification is a reaction on an event.

Importance of an event is defined by QoS assignments.

TeleHome Notification finds event suppliers, not vice -versa.

Events of TeleHome-unaware bundles may also be distributed.
