CES 2012 Studio Interviews

Our world is all about connectivity. Connected devices – tablets, streaming video, smartphones,thermostats – are growing rapidly, with the average home deploying over seven devices on a home router. According the recent stats, that number is nearly double over the past year. Netgear announced eight new products, optimized to serve all of these devices. Products such as the Netgear N-900 Router gives better range and the ability to give priority to certain types of traffic, such as gaming or VoIP. In the interview, we also discuss PowerLine Carrier as an alternative in the home. Netgear just announced a 500Mb/sec version, with a 1Gb system on the roadmap.

Craftsman may not be a name you expect to see at the Consumer Electronics Show, which is generally all about computers, home theater, smartphones, and the like. You may be surprised by the fact that they were there with some pretty cool things to show off. How does the world’s first internet-connected garage door opener sound? This garage door opener has an app for checking it’s status, opening, and closing it remotely. Handy for those time you drive away and forget to hit that close button.

There are apps to control it: available not just for the PC but for both Android and iOS devices. This also eliminates the need to give out keys or passcodes to repairman and others, because you can simply let them in remotely. The device is already available from Craftsman at their website and at Sears locations. They are also working on many future improvements, like integration with home security systems. The device begins at $349 and you can learn more from Craftsman.
