Whoa! High-tech homes! I'd love to live in one of those someday!
Press Release:
IP-Converge (PSE:’CLOUD’), the country’s first and only publicly-listed Internet data center and cloud services provider, has been tapped by property development firm ArthaLand Corporation to be its exclusive provider for the design and implementation of triple play services in Arya Residences, a world-class development rising along the McKinley Parkway in Bonifacio Global City.
Triple play is a service in which high definition video, high fidelity telephony and high-speed Internet access are made available over a single broadband connection. Arya residents will be able to enjoy these benefits, as well as the option to avail of home automation capabilities from IP-Converge’s enterprise-grade connectivity.
By harnessing the power of the Internet, IP-Converge will also provide “smart home” capabilities to Arya and its future residents. As part of ArthaLand’s vision to create “future-proof” homes, the partnership aims to deliver innovative projects that are well rounded and adaptable to new situations, technologies and needs.
A smart home is defined in architecture as one that has highly advanced automatic systems for lighting, temperature control, multi-media and security. In most cases, the Internet Protocol (IP), the same protocol by which data travels on the Internet, serves as the mechanism by which modern IP enabled home appliances and devices are networked. These IP “tools” are then converged into a single IP-enabled digital infrastructure for the purpose of automating the home and applying triple play services.
ArthaLand President and CEO Angie de Villa-Lacson says, “We are glad to partner with IP-Converge in this endeavor. We are confident that our residents will only enjoy the best technologies from the country’s premiere IT and telecommunications company, that provides state-of-the art IT enabled solutions and services.”
IP-Converge facilitated the design and building of the digital infrastructure for Arya Residences’ smart homes, starting with the installation of a fiber optic leased line into the residential building that’s connected to IP-Converge’s robust network infrastructure in its state-of-the-art Internet data center. This serves as the backbone of triple play and home automation services in the towers. Worldwide leader in networking Cisco provided consulting services for the project through IP-Converge.
According to IP-Converge President Rene Huergas, “The technology that we are building for Arya Residences is designed to provide homeowners with the ability to communicate, be entertained, and access various household components from his or her mobile device. The biggest and most distinct advantage for Arya residents who wish to automate their home is that their facilities will be kept online by our telco-grade network, and supported by our new data center facility in Bonifacio Global City. And in partnership with Cisco, we provide ArthaLand with up to date technology and implementation processes, aimed at giving even the most discriminating homeowners the luxurious lifestyle they seek and deserve.”
This digital infrastructure in Arya Residences allows residents to subscribe to Internet, cable TV, telephone services, and to upgrade to home automation features such as lighting control, air-conditioning, entertainment (TV and stereo) and security systems (CCTV), and even curtain control - accessed and controlled through select Internet-connected consumer devices such as phones and tablets via IP, all from a single service provider.
“All these hi-tech features are part of our vision to provide our residents with a future proof home where they can take advantage of fast paced technological advancement for their communications and entertainment needs – then and now” adds Lacson.
Said Huergas, “We are proud to be the partner of ArthaLand in building homes that create unprecedented values to residents. It has always been one of our goals to provide Filipinos with the technology that will help maximize the benefits from cutting-edge connectivity.”
