Available today, The Connected Home is a concept in which residents are able to utilize multiple home network devices by simply connecting them into a home network. Ultimately the goal is to allow homeowners access to the triple services of voice, video and data from anywhere in the home. There have been over 100 million home network products sold to date. This number is expected to grow to over 150 million by the end of 2008.
Currently the majority of home network devices are connected using wireless. Although wireless works well in basic implementations, it does suffer from inadequate coverage, inconsistent performance and the inability to support latency sensitive applications such as voice and video. For these reasons wireless alone is proving not to be a total solution for the connected home.
