 Home Automation and Security
Wireless Gains Market Traction as the Lines Between Automation and Security Blur
The home automation market is starting to gain traction with a mainstream consumer base, driven by relatively recent standards-based technologies, new market players, and new paths to markets. At the same time, there is an increasing degree of intersection between the traditional home security market and the home automation market, as home monitoring and managed home automation services offered by telco and broadband service providers incorporate and expand upon traditional security offerings, forcing incumbent security players to respond.
This study analyzes these trends and provides forecasts for home automation shipments and revenue, as well as the growth of the use of cellular wireless technologies in the security market.
