Parks Associates is supporting the Multimedia Home Gateways Summit.

CSI magazine is proud to present a one-day conference on Multimedia Home Gateways. This independent event, to be held at London’s British Film Institute on 13 June 2013, will gather key decision makers and opinion formers to discuss the key issues affecting the future progress of access services in the TV space.

Following on from last year’s successful debut, CSI magazine will be organising and hosting a follow-up conference dedicated exclusively to the home gateways market. This remains one of the only events in the calendar that objectively and independently analyses the value of these devices – for consumers and the industry ecosystem – and their future potential. On the one hand, the connected home is becoming a reality, on the other, the proliferation of internet enabled devices, OTT services and cloud-based systems are putting an increasing question mark over operator controlled set-top boxes, Walled Gardens and other traditional broadcast and telco approaches. The emergence of home gateways has to be placed inside this context, which this conference will critically evaluate.

Parks Associates is supporting Internet of Things.

What will we do with this data? It is daunting for many organizations to grasp the amount of big data being produced from sensors and devices, let alone getting business value from it. And as a consequence how will it effect the deployment of IoT and influence our daily life, Internet of People. Still IoT and Big Data are very much a technology driven activity applied by hard- and software developers, whereby competing technologies offer different solutions with unclear business cases. With IoT in one hand and Big Data in the other real human problems can be solved, instead of simply marketing new gadgets and services’.
