Among the areas where data has the power to transform our daily lives the most: the rise of the smart home. During CES, Intel and its partners announced new products that can connect, change and improve our lives to make them more convenient and enjoyable.

Analysts predict that by 2020, the global market for smart home technology will reach $100 billion1 and the average home will have more than 35 connected devices.2 But with the rapid proliferation of connected devices and experiences, it’s no longer enough to simply be connected. Today, consumers expect their connections to be fast, reliable and secure. Intel is uniquely positioned to connect these dots, providing the hardware, software and powerful data connectivity required for a truly smart home.
