Local technology companies have been pulling out all the stops for the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show this week in Las Vegas, and Newport Beach-based Mindspeed Technologies is no exception. The semiconductor manufacturer is partnering with German company Rockethome, a provider of home energy management systems, to present a concept for interfacing smart energy use and home automation.
The companies will jointly demonstrate intelligent metering and home management capabilities that can be managed on a single integrated platform, powered by Mindspeed’s Comcerto 1000 embedded packet processors.
“Smart energy metering and management is one of many exciting, new rapidly emerging value-added services for the connected home, and will substantially enhance the comfort and efficiency of consumer residences,” said Laurent Hendrichs, senior product line manager for customer premises equipment marketing and product management at Mindspeed. “Our joint CES 2012 demonstration will showcase the convenience and simplicity of Rockethome’s integrated solution, delivered on a next-generation OSGi-gateway platform that features the performance, power efficiency and carrier-class quality and reliability of Mindspeed’s Comcerto 1000 multi-core embedded packet processors.”
Rockethome’s smart metering and home energy management systems provide multiple aspects of control and network-based operations and data analysis tools, allowing users to consistently evaluate and customize their home environment according to their own comfort and efficiency.
Using the Comcerto 1000 processor and ProSyst’s Open Services Gateway initiative software, the Rockethome User Engagement Platform can interpret, visualize and control a number of smart-home applications and capabilities. The Platform allows users to link home appliances and multimedia equipment, control and automate functions, and measure energy usage and efficiency, all in a single application.
“Mindspeed’s Comcerto 1000 processors provide ample horsepower and the ultra-robust architecture required to deliver all of the valuable benefits of the Rockethome smart-home metering and management solution,” said Yüksel Sirmasac, CEO of Rockethome. “Comcerto 1000 processors offer the ideal feature set for running our unique User Engagement Platform, which intelligently integrates data and applications into a single, flexible, easy-to-control system.”
