In the rapidly evolving world of connected devices, the smart home market is booming, with an estimated 4.2 billion connected devices worldwide in 2021, expected to reach 12.86 billion by 2025 (Statista). However, the complexity of managing multiple devices and platforms has hindered the full realization of the smart home's potential. Enter telus and amazon Web Services (AWS) Managed Integrations, transforming the smart home landscape with an innovative solution for global communication service providers (CSPs).
TELUS, a world-leading communications technology company, has partnered with AWS to create the SmartHome+ platform, a device-agnostic, multi-tenant solution that simplifies smart home management and enables CSPs to launch innovative services with minimal investment and an accelerated time to market. By leveraging AWS's portfolio of IoT, ml, and AI services, TELUS offers a flexible, secure, and scalable framework for CSPs to develop new smart home solutions tailored to their specific market needs.
At the heart of the SmartHome+ platform lies AWS Managed Integrations, which simplifies device integration and ensures the scalability and security needed to support TELUS's growing smart home ecosystem. This technology not only simplifies device integration but also provides the scalability and security needed to support TELUS's growing smart home ecosystem. By using AWS Managed Integrations, TELUS can offer CSPs a turnkey platform for developing smart home solutions, reducing the need for significant investment in infrastructure and accelerating time to market.
The SmartHome+ platform's device agnosticism, zero-touch device onboarding, multi-tenant architecture, turn-key components, and AI/ML integration enable CSPs to launch innovative smart home services with minimal investment and an accelerated time to market. This allows CSPs to quickly tap into the growing smart home market and provide valuable services to their customers, regardless of their location.

The integration of AI and ML in the SmartHome+ platform contributes to creating truly smart homes by enabling cross-platform automation routines that simplify and enhance consumers' lives. For example, the platform can learn from user habits and automatically adjust the thermostat, turn on lights, or lock doors at specific times of the day, without the need for manual intervention. This not only improves the user experience but also offers potential benefits for CSPs, such as incremental profits, minimal investment, and accelerated time to market.
In conclusion, TELUS and AWS Managed Integrations are transforming the smart home market by providing CSPs with an innovative, scalable, and secure platform for launching smart home services.
