Home Technology Update

Clip Summary

Bob meets up with Tim Woods (of the Internet Home Alliance) in the basement of the Quechee home to hear about the progress made integrating the connected home technology. Looking at the network control center, Tim points out the wires representing the different systems in the house. The black wires come from the two-way satellites and provide the internet access and the high-definition and broadband-capable entertainment.

Another group of cables facilitate the distribution of shared data throughout the house. The router provides for data distribution and internet access, and ties in with the housewide wireless system, as well.

Upstairs some of the ADT I-centers are already hooked up and are tied in with the security system which has a box of its own in the basement.
