Consumer electronics devices manufacturers and CE industry pundits have long predicted a truly interconnected IP home. We are not the only company looking for true convergence; it exists but hard to find. But there has always been some type of problem. The lack of a healthy ecosystem has always been a requisite for this to happen, until now. The ingredients for the IP connected home include the availability of IP content aggregators, streaming video codecs, centralized network connectivity, and reliable wireless protocols. We believe that the necessary technology platforms are in place now and forecasts 244.5 million IP-Connected devices will be shipped in 2013.
In 2008, over 80 million CE devices had Ethernet connectivity
In 2008, the largest segment for IP connection was the video game console.
By 2013, DVD players/recorders, and various other forms of audio/video equipment will usurp video game consoles as the most commonly sold CE IP connected devices.
The sophistication of the consumer is a driver in and of itself. Consumers want ubiquity between applications that they buy for their mobile handset at their TVs, set-top boxes, storage in their homes or in the cloud.
The research, “A Roomful of Strangers Visit the IP Connected Home” forecasts the adoption rate of IP connectivity within CE devices. CE device shipments are forecast through to 2013, and the forecast includes shipments by IP interface (Ethernet, 802.11 protocols, coax and power line). The secondary focus of this report is IP video. The IP video infrastructure is presented as the number of subscribers from various broadband mediums (satellite, cable, and IPTV) as well as subscriber numbers for residential VoIP and cellular subscribers. The dynamic between content providers (e.g. Blockbuster, LoveFilms, etc.) and device manufacturers that wish to offer IP video services such as rental, trick-play and sale, is covered. Lastly, the capabilities of DMA are compared and contrasted and the relationships that STB manufacturers (including DMA) have with content aggregators is fleshed out.
