Delivering Impactful Smart Home Experiences
Transform home efficiency and management with Internet of Things (IoT) solutions.
With all the world’s knowledge in our pockets, we are living in a world that is already smart. But the dream of a true smart home remains unfulfilled, partly due to the high level of fragmentation in the industry, leading to countless offerings that don’t work together.
Intel is taking a radically different approach based on proactive research into ways to increase smart home adoption. Our multi-tenant, smart home platform reference design is open, flexible, scalable, secure, and one on which any company or service provider can offer solutions, regardless of the industry to which it belongs.
Smart Home Infrastructure
Intel has the product breadth and ecosystem scale needed to uniquely deliver cost-optimized, horizontal infrastructure that also features security, device management, and analytics to support highly sophisticated use models. Intel is focusing on key areas:
- Compute: Scalability and flexibility at the right price point based on Intel® Quark™ SoC, Intel® Atom™ processor, and Intel® Core™ processors
- Context awareness: Truly smart experiences enabled by Intel® technologies
- Connectivity: Support for PAN, LAN, WAN, and device on-boarding across multiple standards
Deliver Impactful Experiences
The Intel® smart home platform reference design has enough computing performance to run analytics-based applications that will make customers say "WOW." Imagine a smart home that recognizes family members by voice or face and personalizes the home.
With context-awareness, solutions will be able to:
- Recognize who is at the front door
- Control the home with voice commands
- Know who just entered a room
- Learn occupant preferences
- Send alerts if a window is broken

Intel® Smart Home Development Acceleration Platform
This software development kit is initially available on Intel® Quark™ processors and is designed to connect "things" in the home. The kit supports and manages development environments for a range of capabilities that will extend from basic smart home hubs to advanced home controllers—helping developers build and deploy new applications while ensuring compatibility across OS updates. The platform allows OEMs to focus on larger product goals and deployment strategies and build with a common platform in mind. The Intel® Smart Home Development Acceleration Platform will be available starting in the fourth quarter of 2016.
