01/07/2010 Consumer Electronics Show — 4Home and Verizon Wireless are demonstrating collaboratively developed 4G home control services at this week’s CES.
Verizon’s 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network is slated for commercial launch in 2010. 4Home, the category-creator that has developed a carrier-grade software platform for connected home services, is working with Verizon Wireless to develop the first of these services over a 4G LTE network.
"Home control services have typically been considered value-added services running over a traditional high-speed internet connection,” said Jeff Crews, senior vice president, service provider rollouts at 4Home. “Verizon Wireless' continued leadership leveraging the higher bandwidths of 4G technologies opens up an entirely new market for our platform and applications. Verizon Wireless will provide the infrastructure and innovation in wireless connectivity and 4Home is providing the expertise and platform in home control services."
Home control services are broadband-enabled services that currently include energy management, home security and monitoring, home health, and media management. With the coming availability of 4G LTE mobile broadband networks, these services will integrate seamlessly into the mobile experience, allowing consumers to better manage their media, energy usage, home security and health, on the go.
