Parks Associates will host a panel at CONNECTIONS Europe called "Residential Gateways – Devices Enabling New Services." Kurt Scherf, Vice President, Principal Analyst, Parks Associates will moderate this panel.
The number of worldwide households with residential gateways facilitating broadband sharing, remote management and service provisioning, and/or value-added services will grow from 17 million in 2007 to approximately 72 million by year-end 2012. Residential gateway deployment via the France Telecom Group’s Livebox® solution (a Thomson product) has already matched – if not exceeded – deployment of the service provider-deployed home networks in the U.S. market. In a European environment characterized by regulators’ goal to allow customers to choose individual service providers for a variety of their communications and entertainment services, the residential gateway establishes a critical foothold for the service providers.
Topics of discussion at the panel at CONNECTIONS Europe include the evolution of the residential gateway in terms of new features and functionality (from converged voice to media management to storage and home controls), home networking requirements from the service provider community, and device manageability.
