2. 2 Requirements Defined by Services Mosaics Games Services News Commerce Smart Home Sports Real-time Info Communication

3. 3 A Massive Shift in Content Distribution but how rapidly? Video consumption patterns unquestionably shifting to internet- sourced content, home media distribution hub... but how rapidly?

4. 4 New Service Models Under Construction Network no longer defined by media type, service providers seeking opportunities to deliver value by connecting targeted content to subs Some embracing entire service experience – from content to presentation Others focusing on the access “pipe” and fostering strategic partnerships

5. 5 Smart Home – Consumer Simplicity is Key Where is the home network going… One network - any service, anywhere, anytime What access media?  Copper, fiber, wireless… What access technology?  DSL, PON, pt-to-pt Ethernet, WiMax… How much bandwidth is required?  30 Mbps How old is the “digital home”?  Age often defines what physical media is available / pre-wired  Determines how many man hours to wire What type of data network?  Old networks are not sufficient to deploy demanding next generation applications ?

6. 6 The Customer Premises Challenge Broadband historically has been used for Internet access Computers typically near phone and power, less often near coax network Homes with multiple computers have networking solution (10/100 Base-T) Wireless sometimes sold as value add, typically 802.11g or older technology IPTV reveals service delivery challenges, exposes networking “faults” Multiple endpoints mandate in-home network… beware of older solutions IPTV requires much greater bandwidth than traditional Internet access IPTV is unforgiving… packet loss = customer dissatisfaction, service call Most existing home networks do not address quality of service (QoS) Once you enter the home, everything becomes “your problem” User experience becomes indistinguishable from the service provider

7. 7 Physical Network Media Choices Wire building with CAT5 (Ethernet) Can be expensive (2 people for 3-4 hours) Provides dedicated pt-to-pt bandwidth Liability risk, some homeowners will not allow home re-wiring Leverage existing premises wiring Coax network (shared) Power line network (shared) Phone line network (shared) Use wireless technology Designed for data applications, Internet access Potentially problematic for IPTV (pre 802.11n)  New solutions (Ruckus Wireless) rapidly solving issues Home Bandwidth Scale 200+ Capacity (Mbps) Wireless: 802.11n (MiMo Tech.) Wired: Phone Line (HPNA v3.0+) Wired: Power Line (HomePlug AV) Wired: CAT5 (pt-to-pt) COAX (MOCA / HPNA v3.1) 150+ 100+ 50+

8. 8 Home Networking Technologies/Solutions HPNA v3 Developed by Home Phone Networking Alliance Works over phone lines or RG-59/RG-6 coax HPNA v3 over coax called HCNA MoCA Developed by Multimedia over Coax Alliance Works over RG-59/RG-6 coax HomePlug / HomePlug AV Led by Powerline Alliance Works over existing in-home power network WiFi / Wireless Technology Led by the WiFi Alliance (consortium of companies) Works anywhere but operated in unlicensed spectrum Beware of proprietary solutions – generally lead to stranded investment

9. 9 Great Debate: HPNA v3 or MoCA HPNA v3 Ratified as HomePNA v3.1, ITU G.9954 Technology / chipset developed by CopperGate Operates in 4-28 MHz range Adapted to be “friendly” with cable spectrum (in-home coax network) Telco vendors heavily involved; several chip vendors Provides bandwidth in excess of 100 Mbps Synchronous operation with QoS Industry proponent: AT&T http://www.homepna.org/ MoCA Defined by Multimedia over Coax Alliance Technology developed by Entropic Operates in the 900 Mhz to 1.2 GHz range Designed to enable DOCSIS and RF return Cable MSOs and cable vendors heavily involved; 11 chip vendors Provides bandwidth in excess of 100 Mbps Provides QoS Industry proponent: Verizon http://www.mocalliance.org/ Motorola 2-Wire Scientific Atlanta (Cisco) ReadyLinks

10. 10 HomePlug – “Ready Made” Network HomePlug Defined by HomePlug Powerline Alliance HomePlug 1.0 provides up to 8 Mbps throughput, good for data / Internet Newer HomePlug AV provides bandwidth up to 200 Mbps, designed for video Throughput can be affected by phase, location of devices and “noisy” household appliances (vaccuums, can openers, etc.) http://www.homeplug.org/ Linksys (Cisco) Asoka Netgear ZyXEL Actiontec Aztech

11. 11 Wireless – Cutting the Cord… Maybe WiFi / Wireless Technology Widely used for basic home networking Speeds can range from 11 Mbps (early tech.) to upwards of 200 Mbps Operates in unlicensed spectrum so it’s susceptible to interferrence Newer 802.11n (draft spec.) utilizes MIMO technology (antenna array) Both 802.11n and proprietary MIMO solutions enable QoS, video services Not all WiFi solutions are created equal Very difficult to troubleshoot remotely Security may be an issue (people don’t enable it choose weak passwords) http://www.wi-fi.org/ Standard Max Uplink / DownlinkApprox.

15. 15 Service Opportunities in the Home

16. 16 The Next Wave – “Service Intelligence” What needs to be done? Smart home “systems” need to plug-n-play Multiple networks need to converge Networks enabling service integration, intelligence Who are the major players? UPnP Forum – discovery and configuration Digital Home Alliance – service integration DLNA – service delivery standards Who wants to “own” the home / subscriber? Better question, who doesn’t? Discovery, Configuration & Delivery Device Interconnection Technology Companies with Service Gateways, Partnerships or Plans for Direct to Consumer Revenue
