Pursue The Opportunities Presented By New Realities

Evolution of broadband technologies is rapidly transforming from silo-based approaches - where each technology type is assessed separately - towards more holistic and service-based approaches and ´vertical´ service offerings.

Focus is shifted from technical metrics toward subscriber expectations and needs - subscriber QoE makes the real difference!  

Build an AX Innovation Engine and pursue the strategic opportunities presented by new realities!

 



Abstract

Executive Summary

Emerge Of `Vertical´ APPs For The Residential Home

ISPs have to look forward to play a ´Value Added Role´ in home services.

To gain a competitive edge, ISPs have to transform their business from a ´Triple Play Broadband´ to an ´Application Enabled Broadband´ business.

To stay as a ´Fat Pipe Connector´ will not be a viable option.  Market will be driven by ISPs which act as a ´Service Broker´, offering rich services  for the residential home.

Future ISP service offerings will span

  • from ´Security Services´ - e.g. home monitoring and intrusion alarm
  • to ´Infotainment´and ´Life-Care Services´ - e.g. A/V on demand or child/elder monitoring
  • up to ´Blended Services´ - e.g. video conferencing or location based services.

 

 

Technical Summary

 

Based on a (wireless) personal area network (PAN) and the Axiros SmartHome solution platform ISPs are now ready to design new value added solutions.

A personal area networks may be wired with computer buses such as USB and FireWire. A wireless personal area network (WPAN) can also be made possible with network technologies such as IrDA, Bluetooth, UWB, Z-Wave and ZigBee.

(Wireless) PANs - esp. ZigBee-based one´s - already reached maturity and are available at moderate costs.
