Hello future - hello Gigaset elements
Munich, September 09, 2013 - Gigaset elements, the new, sensor- and
cloud-based solution for the networked home, is now on sale. The
intelligent, modular system connects people with their home and actively
helps enhance everyday life. Its first component is the safety starter kit,
which creates security for the home when householders are away. Further
solutions in the fields of energy and care are planned in future.
Gigaset elements connects people with their home
Gigaset elements is an intelligent, sensor- and cloud-based system for one
of the most important places in anyone's life: the home. It can be extended
and is easy to install, enabling everyone to finally have a smart home.
Sensors register what is happening within the four walls and forward
information reliably to the householder's own smartphone. Thanks to its
modular design, Gigaset elements offers a wide range of possibilities and
extensions with application areas to suit everyone.
Simple to get started - versatile extensions
The safety starter kit is the foundation for the versatile uses of Gigaset
elements and focuses on the issue of security. It consists of two
intelligent DECT ULE-based sensors - the door sensor 'door' and the motion
sensor 'motion' - as well as the base station 'base' and an app for
smartphones (compatible with the iPhone 3Gs and later and Android(TM)
version 2.3 and above). An intelligent, learning and secure cloud is behind
Gigaset elements, acting as an interface between the home and smartphone.
'The system is designed to enable expandability and maximum customizing,'
says Nicholas Ord, Head of the 'Home Networks' Business Unit at Gigaset.
'Gigaset elements can be expanded by users in a modular manner - initially
with additional door and motion sensors ('door' and 'motion'), as well as
the window sensor 'window' and the alarm siren 'siren.' Additional
components and extensive solutions in the fields of energy and care are
planned in future.
Internet of Things for the mass market
Beginning with the issue of safety, Gigaset elements opens up the future
market of the Internet of Things, thus helping modern, mobile and better
networked people to keep in touch with their home and so protect this
sensitive and private place.
'Gigaset elements defines a new market and goes beyond currently existing
product categories. The future possibilities are enormous,' adds Ord. 'With
the safety starter kit, we're addressing a very topical and growing problem
in Germany. Statistically speaking, a burglary is committed every two
minutes - and many of them are even carried out in broad daylight. With
Gigaset elements, we give our customers the chance to play it safe as far
as their home is concerned, wherever they happen to be, without any
subscription or contract lock-in.'
The first elements:
1. app (application): The free app (for smartphones and browsers) means
the home is just a click away. It enables users to take immediate
action in response to any unexpected incidents.
2. base (base station): The platform for using Gigaset elements and
connecting the sensors with the smartphone.
3. motion (motion sensor): Without cables and powered by battery, 'motion'
detects people moving in the home.
4. door (door sensor): Without cables and powered by battery, 'door'
distinguishes between normal opening of a door and an attempted
burglary.
5. window (window sensor): Without cables and powered by battery, 'window'
delivers information on the current status of the window and whether it
is opened or closed.
6. siren (alarm siren): In the event of an attempted burglary, 'siren'
emits a loud alarm as a deterrent - especially effective against anyone
breaking in for the first time.
'With Gigaset elements, Gigaset has taken a path-breaking step in a new
direction. With its attractive price, ease of installation and intuitive
use, we've created a product that's just as suitable for the mass market as
any of our cordless phones and, with its customary Gigaset quality 'Made in
Germany,' is thus a core component in our Gigaset 2015 strategy and one
that will help us tap new growth segments,' says Charles Fränkl, CEO of
Gigaset AG.
Gigaset elements is now on sale. The safety starter kit has a recommended
retail price (RRP) of EUR199.99. The additional elements 'door,' 'motion,'
'window' and 'siren' each cost EUR49.99 (RRP). The smartphone app is free
of charge and no further costs are incurred for using it.
