The Most Connected Home in the World
Finnish homeowner Jari Arkko has a monitor in his sauna that can show television, internet, pictures, or the home security cameras, and speakers play Internet radio or music from the family's server. His toaster can send a message to his computer when the toast is up. If the temperature changes, Jari and his wife get chat messages from the Arkko home network. There are three kilometers of Ethernet cable leading to a server room downstairs, several laptops and a couple stationary computers, and sensors in the heating and water pipes. The Arkko family uses Ericsson's solution 'Connected Home' to access all their media, no matter where they are.
