A connected home is networked to enable the interconnection and interoperability
of multiple devices, services and apps, ranging from communications and
entertainment to healthcare, security and home automation. These services and
apps are delivered over multiple interlinked and integrated devices, sensors, tools
and platforms. Connected, real-time, smart and contextual experiences are
