Amber
Solutions, Inc. (Amber)—a disruptive company with technological
breakthroughs that upgrades current 1950s era electrical infrastructure
with modern solid-state smart products —announced today that CEO Thar
Casey will speak at Parks Associates’ 23rd
annual CONNECTIONS: The Premier Connected Home Conference, held May
21-23 at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport in San Francisco,
California. CONNECTIONS is focused on the use cases and emerging
business models that will successfully engage consumers and grow
revenues in the converging IoT industries.
Casey will participate in the session “Industry
Roundtable: Future Tech Driving New Innovations” on Tuesday, May 21,
at 1:15 pm. The interactive panel session, moderated by Kevin Meagher,
European Associate, Parks Associates, examines the impact of voice
control, data analytics, machine learning, sound recognition, artificial
intelligence, 5G/NB IoT and other technology on the future growth of the
smart homes and buildings.
“I’m excited to participate in the discussion around the next generation
of IoT infrastructure and the future growth and landscape of smart homes
and smart buildings,” says Casey. “Today, most smart systems need to be
installed from scratch in buildings, due to lack the of existing IoT
infrastructure, and this gap is truly an inhibitor of growth and deeper
adoption of smart home and building systems.”
Casey continued, “Amber’s portfolio of disruptive, smarter products
changes this dynamic by uniquely enabling a pervasive IoT foundation in
buildings for sensing and control, upon which today’s residential and
commercial IoT systems can connect for exponential, whole building
awareness and control—we’re talking about enabling a significant leap
forward for our entire industry.”
The latest research by Parks Associates finds that U.S. broadband
households have an average of 10.4 connected devices with 45% indicating
they would choose a home with smart technology over one without when
designing their next house. Casey will outline how Amber’s smart IoT
infrastructure products can address both new buildings, as well as
remodels and retrofits.
“Interoperability continues to challenge consumers and the voice
platform offers a simplified experience for consumers,” said Brad
Russell, Director, Connected Home, Parks Associates. “This challenge
intensifies when consumers purchase stand-alone devices at different
times, from different brands, rather than purchasing smart home systems.
We look forward to addressing key strategies and innovations in the
smart home ecosystem.”
CONNECTIONS addresses the challenge and opportunity for smart home
providers as adoption of smart home products and integration of multiple
connected device markets increases. The event will tackle new approaches
and solutions for connectivity, interoperability, and more.
