Abstract
Report Overview
This report addresses the development of wireless ICT to support Smart Houses.
Only now, the Smart Houses technologies are becoming affordable on the
industry-wide scale; though the concept was originated in the 80th of the last
Century. The importance of Smart Houses proliferation is now considered in
connection with the Smart Grid deployments, and Smart Houses wireless ICT will
eventually be a part of a large country-wide project, such as centralized and
intelligent automation system, which integrates utilities and consumers.
In this report, wireless Information and Communications Technologies for Smart
Houses are grouped as:
ICT for home automation. They support such communications structures as, for
example, Home Area Networks, security, and others, which in the majority of
cases do not need high-speed transmission. Report analyzes Z-wave and
ZigBee/IEEE802.15.4 technologies and markets with emphasis on mesh networking
and the IP environment that only recently became available for home-based
communications nodes. The report provides details of Home Area Networks and
shows their importance for the Smart Grid development.
ICT for Entertainment and Information. The goal of a Smart House is to make a
comfortable life for tenants; this requires effective and low-cost
connectivity between various entertainment devices, such as HDTV, various
recording/playing gadgets as well as other devices. Users require transition
from bulky cables to wireless support of transmission in a range of several
Gb/s at the distances 10m or more. They also want to cover with wireless
channels all house. The report details multiple industry and standardization
organizations efforts to bring to the picture 60 GHz radio for such purposes.
In connection with this, it analyzes the status of several competing
technologies to implement comfortable and cost-efficient transmission of HDTV
and other band-hungry applications.
The U.S. market for wireless ICT in Smart Houses (with a base of private
houses reaching more than 100 million) is huge; it also has support of the
government, which is involved in the Smart Grid project.
Target Audience
This report is important to a wide population of researches, technical and
sales staff involved in the developing of the Smart Houses. It is recommended
for both service providers and vendors that are working with related
technologies. The report also helps to understand issues associated with
relationship between Smart Houses ICT and other technologies.
Research Methodology
Considerable research was done using the Internet. Information from various
Web sites was studied and analyzed. Evaluation of publicly available marketing
and technical publications was conducted. Telephone conversations and
interviews were held with industry analysts, technical experts and executives.
In addition to these interviews and primary research, secondary sources were
used to develop a more complete mosaic of the market landscape, including
industry and trade publications, conferences and seminars.
The overriding objective throughout the work has been to provide valid and
relevant information. This has led to a continual review and update of the
information content.
