HOME SWEET HUB
Never feel far
from home
AT&T Digital LifeTM is an all-digital, wireless-based home security and
automation solution. “Digital Life is a great service,” says Kevin Petersen,
senior vice president, Digital Life, AT&T Mobility. “It lets users control,
monitor and secure their homes from a smartphone, tablet or PC. Connected
devices in nearly every room automate the home. And homeowners can
customize the solution by choosing the features that best fit their needs.”
Wireless cameras let you make sure your kids are studying even if you’re
working late. If a package arrives when you’re out, use automated door locks
to let the delivery guy in and lock up behind him. Heat wave hits while
you’re on vacation? Adjust the thermostat from the Digital Life app on
your tablet to save energy. Your home even alerts you if water is near the
washing machine or dishwasher, so you can shut off the water main from
your smartphone to avoid costly repairs.
We also expect Digital Life will be key to integrated home-based healthcare.
For example, more senior citizens might live independently if their families
or healthcare professionals could monitor their activities.
We’re launching Digital Life in 2013, with plans to roll it out to more than
50 markets across the United States this year. Because Digital Life is
compatible with any broadband connection, customers will be able
to use AT&T broadband in our 22-state wired footprint or bring their own
broadband nationwide. We also plan to offer a wholesale solution to telecom
providers outside the United States. And in the years to come, we expect
Digital Life will become a $1+ billion annual revenue stream for AT&T.
