Secure and Connected Smart Homes Offer Productivity and Entertainment

Always-connected devices feature prominently in the modern home. From smart TVs and set-top boxes to thermostats and lighting, these devices now use both complex processor and graphics IP with simple sensor technology to make the home compute experience more comfortable and convenient. Arm offers a family of scalable, compatible IP products and software development tools that give manufacturers the flexibility to create smart home technology at a viable production cost.

Smart TVs – The Hub of the Connected Home

One of the central features of smart homes and buildings is the smart TV (DTV), which today contains more high-performance compute than ever. If you own a smart TV, chances are it’s powered by Arm processing and graphics technology that has helped make these entertainment systems indispensable for consumers.

 

Cortex-A and Mali graphics processors make up a sizable number of the DTV market. Over 95 percent of smart TVs are based on the Cortex-A family of processors, while 80 percent of smart TVs shipped today are based on Mali GPUs.

Scalable and Energy-Efficient IoT Technology

Home Automation and Connectivity

The breadth and potential of IoT is extraordinary, providing convenience and timesaving opportunities throughout our daily lives. Advances in AI and the shift towards endpoint and edge computing are creating new possibilities for home automation. These possibilities can range from security systems that notify you when an unfamiliar face or suspicious noise is detected, to smart home hubs that not only control lights and appliances but predict when maintenance is needed, such as when a lightbulb will need replacing.

 

These innovative IoT devices require secure, end-to-end technology solutions. Arm offers the processing capabilities, software and development tools, and vast partner ecosystem to help optimize and streamline the development of these smart home devices.
