Broadband technologies such as fiber to the home (FTTH), xDSL, cable, and WiMAX are creating an endless opportunity to enable connected, intelligent devices. Many of these devices are located in and around the home and small businesses. Telephone companies, service providers, and mobile operators see the home as the next frontier and are moving quickly to identify the connected devices that will enable them to deliver high-value, revenue-generating services. Home gateways, IPTV set-top boxes, media phones, multifunction printers, cameras, smart meters, and monitoring systems are just a few of the devices that will contribute to the growth in the digital living and consumer device market.
To succeed, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), original device manufacturers (ODMs), and other consumer device manufacturers must be well-positioned to meet critical time-to-market windows while delivering the right functionality needed to unlock revenue-generating capability in every device. Cost reduction and time-to-market are mandatory.
