Huawei offers cloud device for automation

Huawei Device, a leading global ICT solutions provider, has launched its Connected Home Solution, a new cloud package which seamlessly connects home entertainment, small/home (SOHO) office technologies and home security solutions. Huawei’s Connected Home Solution has been developed specifically for families, small to middle-sized enterprises, and customers across the broadcasting and telecommunications industry. The cloud package can be implemented without additional network investment, which is particularly beneficial and cost-effective for commercial organisations. Users are provided with integrated applications including dynamic games and controls, Internet on TV, IPTV entertainment, SOHO security apps and device content sharing—all with cloud access. Building momentum in the Middle East region, research group IDC noted in a recent 2012 outlook that cloud offerings will receive more serious attention in the year to come, with virtualization moving to attain “must-have” status. A new survey from IBM also found that while only 13 per cent of businesses have substantially implemented cloud-based offerings, they are expected to grow to 41 per cent in the next three years. “Huawei Device is taking the lead in integrating products and solutions combining digital media, the digital distribution business, network terminals and storage,” said Jerry Zhi, director of Home Device, Huawei Device. “The Connected Home Solution will bring benefits to people across all aspects of their lives. Mobile security alerts if someone breaks into your home; Internet on your TV; life-like sports games without a professional video game device. These are no longer limited to visions of the future,” he added.
