Infrax Systems (IFXY) will Extend its Platform to the Home
January 21 2014 - 7:00AM
Infrax Systems, Inc., (OTC.BB: IFXY), a global provider of Internet
of Things for the Energy and Utility industries, announces today
that it will extend its flagship platform to the Home by
developing innovative and state-of-the-art "secure" gateways for
home energy management. The secure gateways will incorporate the
Company's proprietary Secure Network Interface Card (SNIC) in its
backbone architecture design. The secure gateways will allow
seamless integration with existing Home networks through its secure
Universal Integration Platform (UIP) architecture.
The Internet of Things is expected to be a $14.4 trillion
opportunity over the next decade for companies that participate in
it, according to a Cisco presentation from June 2013. This is a
substantial opportunity for companies like Infrax Systems.
The push for the connected home is clearly coming. Several
companies announced Internet-capable products at CES, including a
refrigerator, oven, washer and dryer.
But this initial push into the Home has come at a great cost;
security vulnerability. According to BBC News;
A fridge has been discovered sending out spam after a web attack
managed to compromise smart gadgets. The fridge was one of more
than 100,000 devices used to take part in the spam campaign.
Uncovered by security firms, the attack compromised computers, home
routers, media PCs and smart TV sets. The attack is believed to be
one of the first to exploit the lax security on devices that are
part of the "internet of things". With poor protection, the
spam attack took place between 23 December 2013 and 6 January this
year. In total about 750,000 messages were sent as part of
the junk mail campaign. The emails were routed through the
compromised gadgets. Home automation's essential feature is
hardened security which is absent in most smart Home devices.
Home automation market and energy management fits clearly in the
Smart Grid ecosystem and Infrax Systems is poised to enter the
Internet of Things growing space. Our flagship platform with its
built-in security features will ensure a solid implementation of
the Internet of Things for the Home but without the security
vulnerability.
The SNIC is the cornerstone product for the next generation
(Smart Grid II) AMI/Smart Grid network which provides enhanced
security, high bandwidth and reliability through a multi-layered,
segmented LAN architecture that is intuitive and user friendly.
Smart Grid II is security, bandwidth, intelligence, riding over a
network that is adaptive, reliable and resilient.
