Home controls have largely remained confined to the upper strata of new home construction for decades. However, new approaches incorporating wireless and powerline technologies, a migration of traditional suppliers to IP-based systems and, perhaps most importantly, the entry of key market movers are driving change.
Bill Ablondi, Director of Home Systems Research, Parks Associates will present new research, forecasts and analysis during a webcast on Thursday, May 22, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. Central. The Opportunities for Wireless and Powerline Controls presentation will examine the state of the market, technology alternatives and an overview of the competition.
At the upcoming CONNECTIONS Conference, Bill will also be moderating the panel, HOME SYSTEMS: From Controls to Entertainment & Security – Trends and Opportunities. Confirmed Speakers for this panel include: Doug Fikse, President, On-Q/Legrand; Kevin Meagher, CEO, Intamac Systems; Michael Peveler, VP, Corporate Development, AMX; Tony Shakib, CEO & President, Zensys; and Will West, CEO, Control4.
