  2. WHAT IS A TRANSFORMATIONAL TECHNOLOGY? • Changes Our Lifestyle • Sets New Boundaries • Foundational • Creation of Ecosystems

  3. ARE THESE? • WIRELESS ? • WIRED ? • OPTICAL ? • POWERLINE !

  4. OBSTACLES TO NEW TECHNOLOGIES • Ham Radio Operator Opposition • RF Interference to Licensed Users • Government Regulatory Agencies • Competing Technologies • Limited Uses

  5. CALCULATOR OR TYPEWRITER?

  6. HOMES - WHERE WE HAVE BEEN • SHELTER • RESPITE • MODERN HOME • SMART HOME

  7. HOMES – WHERE WE ARE GOING THE INTELLIGENT HOME

  8. Market Requirements For Command and Control • ROBUST (100% Connectivity, and in the case of critical functions, with or without a “live” line) • RELIABLE (Meets Specs Decades Later) • COST EFFECTIVE • INTERFERENCE (Regulatory ,1.0, AV, BPL, etc.) • MULTIPLE VENDORS / TIME TO MARKET

  9. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS • Command & Control (“Smart Home”) • Remote appliance diagnostics, service and support • Lighting and HVAC control • Controlling appliances after leaving home or prior to arriving • Home monitoring and security systems control while away • Entrance control • Metering and Energy Management • AMR - Automatic Meter Reading (Power Utilities) • Sub-metering for high rise buildings, house complexes and industrial buildings • Energy management and saving and time of use Internet

  10. System error house will reboot in 20 seconds Checking the integrity of the security system You have a fault in the security system – House closing down Ring 0870 333 4444 for support services Closing down communication systems Don’t panic Don’t panic Don’t panic Don’t panic Don’t panic Don’t panic

  11. PROCESS • MRD GENERATED FOLLOWED BY AN OPEN INVITATION TO C&C PROPONENTS • PRE-SCREENING BY TECHNICAL EVALUATION GROUP • BAKE-OFF • PRESENTATION • LABORATORY TESTS (Independent Consultant) • FIELD TESTS (Multiple Homes / Multiple Outlet Pairs) • INTERFERER HOME

  12. DECISION PROCESS • CONSESUS REACHED BY TECHNICAL EVALUATION GROUP (TEG) • BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECEIVES RECCOMENDATION FROM TEG • BOARD MAKES FINAL DECISION • BASELINE SPECIFICATION IS SET A SPECIFICATIONS WORKING GROUP IS FORMED

  13. NEIGHBORING HOMES INTELLIGENT GRIDS

  14. CONNECTIVITY = INTELLIGENCE • Whether the technology is… • Wireless • Optical • Wired • To-the-home or in-the-home • Whether the application is… • the Smoke Detector talking to the HVAC • the Security System talking to Health Care devices • the Appliance talking to the Utility Applications

  15. WHY THE ALLIANCE DRIVES ECOSYSTEMS • Eliminate Consumer Confusion • Preserve Integral Solutions • In the network • In the approach to the market • Create a worldwide platform for • Services • Applications
