Smart Houses: Wireless ICT
PracTel Inc., Jan 2010, Pages: 155+
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.
