iControl Networks a Platinum Sponsor of
CONNECTIONS™: The Digital Home Conference and Showcase
Parks Associates and CEA® today announce iControl Networks as a
Platinum Sponsor
Platinum Sponsor of CONNECTIONS™. In its 10th year, CONNECTIONS™: The Digital Home Conference and Showcase
will be held May 2-4, 2006, at the Santa Clara Convention Center.
Palo Alto-based iControl Networks is an online service that
dramatically improves an individual’s busy life by offering an easy,
affordable, and Internet-based way to see, know, and respond remotely to
the comfort and safety of loved ones, property, or business.
“CONNECTIONS™
represents a great venue for our public launch of our online service.
iControl Networks helps the consumer to manage what matters most – their
family, home and business. Through a Web browser on a PC, PDA or
smartphone, users can get their personal content within seconds,“ said
Reza
Raji, president and CEO of iControl Networks. “We are also working
with service providers, homebuilders and consumer electronics companies to
boost their value proposition, thereby helping them differentiate and
expand their services."
According to Parks Associates, the total market for U.S. home control
systems reached approximately $2.3 billion in 2005, and these revenues
will grow 8-9% per year over the next four years, reaching $3.2 billion by
2009. That growth promises to have a trickle-down effect for retail and
other innovative home control solutions. The commercial marketplace
represents an equal or even larger revenue opportunity for these services
in the next several years.
"iControl Networks not only offers Internet service providers with
additional means of differentiation, but it also offers a low-cost
approach for home and building controls that have typically been
unaffordable or too complex to most consumers and business owners," said
Tricia
Parks, CEO of Parks Associates.
CONNECTIONS™, produced by Parks Associates in partnership with the
Consumer Electronics Association, is the largest executive conference and
showcase dedicated to advanced digital lifestyle solutions for residential
and mobile environments. This year’s conference topics include digital
entertainment, mobile platforms & services, home networking &
infrastructure, home management & digital health, and broadband & IP
services.
