After smart hardware enters the home, there are so-called smart home application scenarios. At the Electronic Information Expo, Broadcom and its partner Ayla IoT Network also demonstrated a platform based on wearable and smart hardware.
It is worth noting that in addition to WiFi and Bluetooth chips, Broadcom also recently launched an updated DOCSIS3.0 platform for smart home gateway products. This platform can provide functions including OTT video, broadband data services, wired and wireless home networks, and cable TV. Broadcom hopes that through a platform, operators can provide users with broadband access, audio-visual entertainment, smart home control and other services from their perspective, and enable smart home gateways to become the control center of smart homes.
Judging from the current situation, after the concept of smart home began to catch on, the control center of the family has shifted from the smart router that was first conceived to the mobile phone. The router has basically become a pipe. In addition to mobile apps, many products are also trying to become "control centers". At this year's Electronic Information Expo, some manufacturers even proposed the idea of ​​turning the TV into the control center of a smart home.
Regarding the question of whether the home gateway can become a smart home control center, RichNelson, senior vice president of marketing for Broadcom's broadband and wireless connection division, said that in addition to broadband access services, smart home gateway products provide more powerful video processing and distribution functions. With the popularity of 4K video, traditional routers and set-top box products cannot provide users with better video services and experience. The data shows that most of the home application scenarios are related to video and entertainment. Smart home gateway products provide operators with a set of solutions to improve user services. Although mobile phones can also implement some home control functions, they cannot replace the status of smart home gateways.
However, the market for set-top boxes and home gateways is currently mainly driven by operators. Judging from the current situation, it is still unrealistic for telecom operators and broadcasting and television cable operators to replace set-top boxes or home gateways for users. It is understood that the high-definition interactive set-top box launched by Beijing Gehua Cable for free a few years ago has built-in functions such as broadband access and video distribution, but it has not received large-scale applications in the past few years. Broadcasting and television do not have advantages in broadband access, and telecommunications are also weak in video content access. The status quo of domestic radio, television and telecommunications will also affect the user experience of smart home gateway products. In the reality that Internet companies are rapidly advancing smart home applications, the status of mobile phones and sensors in controlling hardware still cannot be shaken in the short term.
