Residential gateways to create new revenue streams

September 22, 2009

Residential gateways and home networks will open new revenue streams for service providers within the next four years, with deployments of residential gateways to account for over half of home network deployments by 2013, according to a new report from Parks Associates.

Service providers will start to see a quick return on investment, according to the report, and will be able to build new profits through residential gateway deployments. “At first, service providers deployed managed RGs to reduce expenses through auto-configuration and remote management,” said Kurt Scherf, Vice President and Principal Analyst at Parks Associates. “In the current phase of the connected home, subscribers are more interested – and more willing to pay for – value-added services such as enhanced technical support and data and media backup.”
