Parks Associates Home Control Report Analyses Lagotek Future Market Penetration
Parks Associates release a report on trends and opportunities in the Home Control market. The report analyses trends and makes projections about coming trends in the Home Control market that are very favorable to Lagotek.
Projecting that U.S. consumers will spend "more than $15 billion by 2010", Parks Associates conclude that "consumers will need to manage, distribute, and control that content and will become accustomed to using their home network to control their entertainment systems and storage devices.
"As consumers are making use of home networks for more than just data, network tools such as Web services and advanced user interfaces are making device discovery and diagnostics easier. Media servers, a.k.a. Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems, are already popular in high-end entertainment systems, and as prices drop they are becoming popular for mainstream users. These trends plus "no-new-wires" controls and sensors coupled with control middleware from companies, e.g. Exceptional Innovation, Homeseer, Lagotek, and Superna, position the home network to become the backbone for command and control communications in the home."
