Today‘s connected home is a place of active change—a complex environment of devices, services, content, and data. High-speed broadband environments within fiber-supplied homes is enabling new consumer habits and encouraging adoption of even more connectable devices. In fact, households with fiber-based services have about seven connectable devices, 10% more than in average U.S. broadband households.

Parks Associates recently partnered with communications equipment supplier Calix to publish a new whitepaper examining the key role of the managed service gateway in helping operators and their customers successfully cope with the ever-changing connected home. It summarily assesses the features necessary for managed services gateways that will serve tomorrow’s subscribers.

Research highlights from the 16-page whitepaper include:

• Benefits of the managed service gateway
• Overview of the connected home and the impact of fiber on device ownership/usage
• Key capabilities to serve connected homes: QoS, traffic management, value-added services
• Current enhanced wireless innovations and their role in video delivery
• Impact on installation times, operator revenues, and mobile traffic
