Some industries are gearing up to capitalize on the $100Bn Smart Home opportunity. The telcos, ISPs, and other CSPs are perfect for it. They already have the network infrastructure deployed on the ground and a strong subscriber base, keeping the acquisition costs low. They understand the play of the internet, data, and bandwidth.

However, to go full throttle into the smart home market, the missing link is a fully managed Smart Home Platform anchored within an IoT ecosystem. This platform determines your speed to go-to-market, reduces capital expenditure, and effort employed to understand the nuts and bolts of the business story.
