The Future Has Arrived: Connected Home Reality is Now

Patrick Henry, President & CEO, Entropic Communications

We’ve heard about the ‘connected home’ for years, where consumers have the freedom to enjoy advanced whole-home content and services, when and where they want it, in their home. And it has been this insatiable consumer appetite that has driven technologists, content delivery companies, and service providers to place greater emphasis on the technology and standards required to deliver, transfer, and store high-speed HD-quality video and multimedia content in the home – all with high service quality assurance.

Looking at new technologies and standards, Entropic Communications, a leading provider of silicon and software solutions to enable connected home entertainment and a founding member of the Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA), as well as other silicon vendors are driving the connected home story from vision to reality. It is with silicon and software that global service providers have begun to offer advanced whole-home video delivery – on the customer premise – enabling consumers to enjoy the emergence of new services offered by IPTV, 3DTV, advancements in cloud services and over-the-top (OTT) content providers, and look to the opportunity to watch videos and share the content across a multi-screen environment.

This session will discuss whole-home satellite and Pay-TV service provider strategies initially launched in the past 12-months with multi-room DVR (digital video recorder) services, as well as offer insight on the new technologies and consumer cultural transformations that have made the connected home a reality.
