It’s the most versatile and practical way for Verizon and other digital home innovators to offer connected home services. No complex systems. No custom hardware. Just expertise from the team that pioneered the home automation industry and the company that has been helping carriers deliver new and innovative services for over 50 years. The software platform is embedded into the gateway included in each Verizon service kit. The software communicates with Motorola‘s portal server solution to provide real-time support for the home monitoring, control and energy management services. The result is reliable connected home services for consumers that can be hosted and managed in real-time. “The bandwidth-rich ecosystems Verizon networks create are enabling more and more connected devices in the home than ever before,” said Eric Bruno, Vice President of Product Management, Verizon. “We’re collaborating with partners like Motorola to design new services that can help people save time and deliver the borderless, digital lifestyle.” Adding new services like home monitoring, control and energy management is easy with Motorola’s 4Home Solution. The solution is composed of two main elements: client software and a portal server. The client software sits locally on the home network, embedded into a device. The server software resides in the cloud. These two components maintain real-time communication to allow carriers to remotely manage installations to their user base and to allow consumers to manage their home from anywhere with multiple user interfaces.
