TECHNOLOGY MEGATRENDS
CONNECTED LIVING SYSTEM
Connected living
is comprised of three primary aspects of "
connected home, connected city
, and connected work."
Connected living involves an ecosystem in which consumers have
access to various devices
that they can use to avail of high-impact innovative services.
These services can combine "
video, voice, and data
" to allow immediate access and connectivity in any place at any time.
The entire connected living market size will be worth
$730 billion in 2020
.
Connected home components such as
"home automation, home energy,
home health, and home entertainment" will make up 31% of this market size.
Connected work such as "
mobility - mobile email, unified communication
, mobile working, and enterprise social networking" will account for 15% of the market.
Meanwhile, connected city components such as
"e-governance, e-citizens, smart transportation cards
, e-learning, and mobile banking" is expected to account for
54%
of the connected living market.
One of the companies that are riding on this mega trend include Deutsche Telekom's "
connected home B2B platform
."

platform-based strategy
to enable the collaboration of major players in this sector.
