Comcast previewed a new, whole-home networking solution at CES 2017 that will provide customers with a simple, fast and intuitive way to control and manage their Digital Home and the devices connected to it. The cloud-based platform, which will be included at no extra cost for customers with a Comcast Wi-Fi Gateway device, delivers fast and reliable connectivity in the home and provides an intuitive user experience that allows people to easily add devices, pause device use during dinnertime, pair Wi-Fi extenders that boost signal strength and use voice controls to see who’s on the network, all in a safe and secure way. The new experience will be automatically enabled in the first half of 2017 for the approximately 10 million existing Xfinity Internet customers who have a compatible Xfinity Wireless Gateway. That number is expected to grow to more than 15 million by the end of the year as Comcast’s new Advanced Wireless Gateway becomes available to customers. This Advanced Gateway is capable of delivering up to nine gigabits per second over Wi-Fi within the home, supports voice, home monitoring and automation applications and will be the device Comcast uses to make one gigabit per second Internet speeds available across its entire service area. Comcast will demonstrate their new, whole-home networking solution for the first time at the Intel booth at CES - LVCC, Central Hall South, # 7252 - from January 5-8 in Las Vegas. The first version of Comcast’s new Advanced Gateway is based on the Intel® Puma™ 7 SoC. Comcast and Intel share a common vision for the Digital Home and are working together to drive standards within the Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) that address interoperability and support innovative technologies that will further transform the home experience. Comcast’s new platform can be controlled via web, mobile app and the X1 voice remote and includes the following features: Get Started; Take A Picture; Whole Home Connectivity; Easy Onboarding & Monitoring; Scheduler, Bedtime Mode and Instant Pause; Voice & TV Integration; Safe. Secure.
