Telefonica brings connected home technology from AT&T to Europe
By licensing the AT&T Digital Life platform, Telefonica can offer trial users a wireless home automation platform all managed through an easy-to-use, web-based user interface.
AT&T independently owns its platform, allowing for others to license a turnkey solution. The AT&T Digital Life™ is an IP-based, all wireless, home security, smart automation and energy management solution, all contained in an easy-to-use mobile app. Telefonica is the first company to license the Digital Life platform.
"Telefonica is making the right move at the right time here to be an industry leader, because the connected home industry is growing quickly," said Kevin Petersen, President, AT&T Digital Life. "The collaboration between Telefonica and AT&T gives OEMs and developers another channel to extend new services to global markets. There is no better platform for the connected home than Digital Life. Our service excels in security, ease-of-use, and the platform is built to expand and be open to third party technology."
AT&T is working with Telefonica to deploy the software and on-the-ground resources needed to operate the trial. The company can customize the user experience to be managed and hosted by Telefonica. Digital Life™ offers several benefits to international providers interested in a home automation offering, including lower entry costs into a market that can potentially generate new revenue streams and reduce churn.
