Description

Home Director is a leading provider of home networking technology. We develop, integrate and deploy networking infrastructure products and home networking software applications. Our Network Connection Center hardware infrastructure solutions enable the distribution of services and digital content to devices in every room of the home for entertainment, communications, security and home control. Our ControlPoint software foundation and family of applications for residential gateways add intelligence to the networking infrastructure, enabling homeowners and their families to use Internet-based technology in new ways, such as listening to digital music files or streaming Internet radio on existing stereo equipment. Home Director provides home networking solutions to homeowners through a network of distribution and technology business partners. Our home networking infrastructure and software technology allows homeowners and their families to use products and services where they best fit in their lifestyle. For example, the home network extends the reach of the Internet beyond a single computer, weaving the Internet more richly into the lives of homeowners and their families across an infrastructure that is always on, always available and reaches into every room. A typical home today consists of islands of technology for entertainment, communications and computing. The lack of integration among services and devices limits the full potential of home technology. Home Director resolves this digital isolation. Devices and services are integrated into a single network to share resources and services throughout the home and to enable centralized control of devices through televisions in the home or Web-enabled devices anywhere in the world. The ability to use digital services and content throughout the home is accelerating the adoption of broadband Internet network services, compelling Internet-based content and services, and home networking products and service. Home networking is the "killer application" for broadband Internet content and services. The combination of broadband Internet, home networking infrastructures and software applications is driving the second, more advanced stage of the home networking industry. Unlike other players in the industry that focus on pieces of the overall solution, Home Director and its business partners have assembled all the essential elements - hardware, software and services. Home Director and its business partners are leading the second evolution of the home networking industry by providing Internet-based home networking solutions to new and existing homes worldwide. Home Director began as a business within IBM in 1996. It was launched as an independent company in January 2000. The company is headquartered in California's Silicon Valley.
