networking expertise to CONNECTIONS™
CONNECTIONS™ today
welcomes Zigbee™ Alliance, a leader in developing wireless monitoring and
control solutions, as a
Diamond
Sponsor at its 2006 event, which will take place at the Santa Clara
Convention Center, May 2-4, 2006.
CONNECTIONS™: The Digital
Home Conference and Showcase, produced by Parks Associates in
partnership with CEA, 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.
According to Parks Associates, the total market for home control
systems reached approximately $2.3 billion in 2005. Furthermore, revenues
will grow 8-9% per year over the next four years, reaching more than $3
billion by 2009.
“The home controls market is coming of age and is accelerated by
efforts like the ZigBee Alliance,” said
Tricia Parks,
CEO of Parks Associates. “One inhibitor to the growth of digital home
control has been available suitable and avant garde technology at
prices that most consumers can manage. ZigBee requirements help mitigate
this issue.”
The ZigBee Alliance (http://www.zigbee.org)
is also hosting a special session,
Wireless
Sensors and Control Networks: Enabling New Opportunities, on
May 3, 2:45-3:45 p.m., at CONNECTIONS™. This session will offer
discussions of basic network requirements and applications for ZigBee
wireless technology. Meeting ZigBee requirements will allow manufacturers
to provide flexibility, mobility, and ease-of-use in a wide range of
everyday devices. It is expected that ZigBee technology will be embedded
in a wide range of products and applications across consumer, commercial,
industrial, and government markets worldwide.
