According to Parks Associates research, 76% of North American broadband households use Wi-Fi as their primary connected technology, but in the past year, 37% of U.S. broadband households report that their Wi-Fi network seems slow. If operators want to compete effectively in the connected home, they will need to add value through premium CPE and a quality consumer experience.

Parks Associates and Calix will discuss emerging trends for service providers in an upcoming webcast, The Evolution of the Connected Home: Service Provider Opportunities, on March 7. Speakers will present strategies for operators to expand their footprint in the connected home, as presented in the recent whitepaper, Staking a Claim in the Connected Home: Service Provider Solutions.

Key topics for the webinar include:

• Differentiating services through feature-rich customer premise equipment
• Opportunities for gateway support of smart home devices
• Supporting interoperability at the gateway level to simplify and improve the user experience
• Using advanced edge monitoring to reduce consumer concerns about data security

Everyone who registers for the webcast will receive a copy of the recording and slide deck, so reserve your seat today.
