Internet of Things, opens the market for home gateways
With the explosion of IoT also in the housing context, consumers increasingly seek a solution to serve as the nerve center from which to control, monitor and manage the entire house.
The attention surrounding all that is the Internet of Things in the home is growing rapidly and, according to market analyst firm Gartner, the market is preparing to welcome the battle for gateways IoT.
Paul O’Donovan, principal research analyst at Gartner, says: ” The number of applications for housing IoT include pots smart. They know how to cook a meal and dispense recipes, or washers and dryers intelligent, which help to determine the optimal duration for a wash cycle.
To this is added the lighting systems, thermostats and entertainment devices. ” The greater availability of these solutions is starting to grow the need to monitor and control the home as a holistic platform devices.
” Many IoT applications are triggered by sensors and require a system of information management, but still there is no single gateway IoT home. With the homes connected to the Internet that are becoming more intelligent, a gateway is the nerve center can connect different devices and applications so that you can manage the entire ecosystem ” says O’Donovan.
Gartner estimates that by 2020 the number of housing so-called ” smart connected ” is expected to grow from 100 million to 200 million now to about 500 million to 700 million. The gateway market IoT is preparing to expand quickly: despite the lack of even a good business model and maturity of products IoT is not yet excellent, really concerned have attempted to develop the market to grab market share in the future the perspective.
The key to success, according to Gartner, will be the ability to develop a system that will fit evenly and painlessly with any IoT application of any reality: a system which binds the user specifically limits their opportunities, and consumers usually they want to exercise their preferences with the ample choice.
Lately various platforms have emerged, which among other things are also starting to open up to third parties to try to reduce the complexity with which, You are to have anything to do.
” With the emergence of the gateway market IoT, the Internet Service Providers will be the first winners in the battle for home gateways, granted that develop solutions or become partners producing hub.
The vendor of mobile phones will have a rather small portion of the market, but the cellular model will not have a sufficient bandwidth to compete with the solutions of the ISP.
In the longer term, we will need an integrated device, where the gateway is also a hub or integrated solution gatewy-hub is required Rendra ” he concluded O’Donovan.
