CABA Research Roadmap Accelerates Adoption of Smart Home Technologies and Applications (3/10/2005)

Global Inventures, Inc., has announced it will provide funding support for the Connected Home Roadmap in partnership with the Continental Automated Buildings Association (CABA). The Connected Home Roadmap is designed to accelerate the adoption of smart home technologies and applications. In addition, Global Inventures President and CEO Deepak Kamlani has been elected Chair of the Connected Home Roadmap Steering Committee.

"Our goal for developing the Connected Home Roadmap is to identify the primary drivers that will propel this industry and set of technologies forward," stated Ronald J. Zimmer, CABA President & CEO. "It is our objective to develop the most comprehensive analysis of the sector ever undertaken." Through the technology roadmap process, companies in a given sector can pool their resources, to determine what their specific market will require for growth within a five-year time frame.

"With the pervasive availability of broadband, new wireless and wired communication technologies and network-ready consumer devices, the Connnected Home market is moving towards the integration of previously independent systems," said Deepak Kamlani, Steering Committee Chair and CEO of Global Inventures, Inc. "The information we identify will allow industry, governments, academic institutions and research organizations to identify and prioritize resource requirements, and potential investment opportunities."

Through our status as a sponsor of the CHRM study, Global Inventures is pleased to provide our technology standards organizations with unique access to the project including:

-- Initial influence on study areas and project direction; -- Access to more in-depth information gained throughout the project; -- Preview access to the study results on an ongoing basis; -- A better understanding of the findings and how they will impact their company; -- The opportunity to direct the future.

The final report will be completed in the first quarter of 2006.
