2. New Wireless Home Security and Automation Technology On The Way in 2013
It may sound a little like the futuristic cartoon series The Jetsons, but imagine sitting at work and getting a call from that plumber or pet
-sitter whose services you need at your home... then being able to see them on your porch, let them in, and even watch them working...
all by picking up your smartphone.
AT&T indicated last year that the communications giant would launch wireless home security and automation services, and just an-
nounced in January that these services will become available in March. The new services, offered under the name AT&T Digital Life,
will be available in eight U.S. cities to start, with as many as 50 more cities being added into the mix in 2013. So far, Ohioans can keep
their hopes up for early access to this new technology; AT&T has not yet indicated which cities will be included in the initial Digital
Life service areas. The unique, all-digital wireless-based home security and automation services will allow customers to control camer-
as, door locks, window sensors, thermostats, appliances, lighting controls and more, all from a smartphone, tablet or PC – regardless of
the customer’s wireless carrier or broadband provider.
“The home security and automation market is about to expand significantly,” said Roger Entner,
Founder and Lead Analyst of Recon Analytics. “As the capabilities and usability of home automa-
tion solutions are dramatically improving, installation becoming easier, the value proposition is
becoming a lot more attractive to consumers. Not only can consumers protect their home against
intruders, but with these new solutions they can save energy, keep an eye on what is going on in
their home even when they are away and protect against costly accidents in their home.”
