DALLAS, June 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Parks Associates research finds US broadband households have an average of 12 connected devices, which will increase to 20 by 2025, creating opportunities for service providers and manufacturers to deploy new value-added services to support the home network and all its devices.

The international research firm will discuss home networking challenges and threats that service providers need to address to deliver a premium user experience in the upcoming webinar "Value-added Services: Secure & Complete Home Wi-Fi Management," cohosted with Irdeto, June 16, 11 am CT. The webinar, featuring Brad Russell, Research Director, Connected Home, Parks Associates, and Ronald Peters, Product Manager, Irdeto, will give insight into consumer challenges and desires for their home network and explore new solutions for ISPs for integrated, AI-powered Wi-Fi management and cybersecurity protection.

"The number of connected devices in the home is increasing just as people are adding strain to the home network with more work-at-home and video streaming activities," said Brad Russell, Research Director, Connected Home, Parks Associates. "Consumers regularly deal with frustrating Wi-Fi experiences and also have widespread concern about their vulnerability to data security and privacy threats. Even as household spending starts to shrink, consumers recognize the need to secure and optimize their connectivity solutions and value a holistic solution that can deliver on safety and performance."
