Streaming devices proliferate in fiber broadband homes, study says

October 05, 2014

Fiber broadband-connected homes have a higher number of devices--10 percent more, on average--than homes that connect to the Internet in other ways, a study by Parks Associates reveals. Smartphones, tablets and gaming consoles top the list of devices in those homes.

The study, developed by Parks on behalf of Calix, found that broadband homes have an average of seven Internet-connected devices, including the above plus smart TVs, DVRs and streaming media players.

While Calix, a unified access services provider, developed the whitepaper to discuss options for IPTV providers such as gateways, the plethora of connected devices currently sitting in the home reveals the tangled web that is video delivery as well as data analytics from use of such devices.

From the article "Streaming devices proliferate in fiber broadband homes, study says" by Samantha Bookman.
