Tips for addressing the broadband challenge

Posted by: Wipro Insights | April 02, 2013

The US is one of the most mature fixed-broadband markets in the world, but is becoming a victim of its own success. Communication Service Providers (CSPs – both telecom and cable MSOs) enjoyed a long run of double-digit growth in building the networks and services that power triple-and-quad play packages, but that growth has stalled out with broadband penetration rates approaching 70%. In response, CSPs have logically expanded their media content offerings and begun experimenting with new connected home and enterprise machine-to-machine solutions. But we believe there is still headroom for basic access growth both in the US market and beyond.

This time around, mobility will crawl into our daily lives directly and indirectly through applications. And this new disruptive wave has already begun. Nearly 50 billion devices are expected to be connected over the next few years and new apps, middleware and communication technologies are forecasted to evolve to make the magic happen.

My Future – A Smart life

Posted by: Wipro Insights | April 01, 2011

It’s a cold morning. I wake up, reach out to the home appliance controls on my bedside, and program the microwave to prepare my breakfast with the right amount of calories. Thereafter, I walk to my closet and pick a suit. My intelligent closet automatically presents a matching shirt, tie, shoes, socks and cufflinks that I had not recently worn! I walk into the living room. The light is perfect, room is warm and window curtains are drawn showing off the beautiful snowcapped mountains. Ah! My smart room occupancy sensor knows the ambience I want. I have my healthy breakfast while watching news on the connected TV. In the midst of it, I get a video call and I need to head to work. I toss the news feed from the TV screen to my tablet and walk to the garage. I switch on the in-vehicle infotainment system in the car to continue hearing the news and drive on. The system then integrates with my smart phone and updates me on my day’s meetings. It also helps me reach my destination safely and quickly. Snap! The alarm rings and I wake up from my dream in which my life was ‘smart’.
