AWS re:Invent 2022 - Reimagining the home experience with cloud-native 5G powered by AWS (TLC305)

Summary

AWS and TELUS have been collaborating for two years to reimagine the smart home experience.
The session covered customer requirements, the joint product vision, and a live demo of the technology.
TELUS aims to address consumer and industry challenges caused by the explosion of connected services and devices.
The goal is to create a device-agnostic solution that simplifies the smart home experience.
New technologies like Zero Touch and ubiquitous control will be leveraged.
AWS IoT Core, Kinesis Video, and other AWS services are used to build a scalable platform.
The platform will allow for the integration of a vast ecosystem of devices.
The vision includes autonomous operations and routines for smart homes.
A timeline for market launch and global expansion was discussed.
The solution will be available on the AWS marketplace for broader adoption.
The partnership aims to benefit device manufacturers, operators, and consumers.

TELUS is focusing on breaking down the "walled gardens" of smart home devices to create a unified and frictionless user experience.
The use of AWS services like IoT Core and Kinesis Video Stream is central to the development of a scalable and interoperable smart home platform.
The platform is designed to be modular and reusable, potentially allowing other CSPs to adopt and customize it for their own services.
The Zero Touch technology aims to simplify the addition of new devices to the smart home ecosystem, regardless of the communication protocol.
The partnership between AWS and TELUS is an example of how cloud services can drive innovation in the telecommunications industry, particularly in the smart home sector.
The timeline indicates that the first market launch is expected in the following year, with global expansion and availability in the AWS marketplace by 2024.
The concept of autonomous operations in smart homes suggests a future where homes can adapt to individual preferences and routines without manual intervention.
