
Fruition of three years of work
Many certified devices deployed
Availability of commercial tools for more than a dozen
vendors for many OS and embedded platforms
Refinements based on deployment experience
Operating system support

Home Automation & Security
DCP definitions finalized

The Home Automation & Security
working committee has defined DCPs for
these application areas.

Summary

Entertainment and Data Networks are
Converging

Managing QoS in the Home Network is
Essential for Positive User Experience

UPnP™ will provide mechanisms for
enabling QoS in the home network
What’s Missing: Security

Scenarios and requirements defined early
2001

Security Working Committee established
August, 2001

Version 0.9 completed December, 2002

Review/reconsideration of specs early-mid
2003 (see next slide)

Process is back on track, Steering
Committee vote expected early November,
2003
Where Microsoft is going
“Fjord” release in 2004
Bridging UPnP 1.0 to the PnP bus in
“Longhorn”
Moving Web services into the device space
as appropriate
We are committed to the same level of
community support
Tools
Plugfests
Events
Creating a Web services profile for devices
Opportunities and
Challenges
Conclusions

With existing technology, everyday
devices (LonWorks devices) can
successfully be mapped into UPnP
domain.

Further work is required to
commercialize the hardware and
software bridge.
Summary
• PC, CE and mobile device convergence
at home is here
• Consumers want to create, consume,
manage and share digital content in the
home easily
• Industry leaders share a common goal
and approach to enable the transparent
home network
• Interoperability, open and fair standards
are key

Summary/Opportunities
 The

digital trend is creating a enormous opportunity
Digital home growth will only occur with easy connectivity
 First steps - build and promote digital
 Networked CE equipment + content services
 PC + digital media adapter + broadband
home solutions
 Build for interoperability
 UPnP Technology: www.upnp.org
 DHWG: www.dhwg.org
 Intel Developer Network: www.intel.com/technology/dhdevnet
 Explore bundling opportunities
 Intel is helping promote bundles with Pentium® 4 processor-based
PCs
