The two companies have previously bought a part of the leading SHaaS (smart home as a service) provider, Icontrol. Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> announced this new strategy at a session in the ISC West 2017 held last month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The program has made plans for outsourcing the service to independent home security and alarm companies. However, the pricing for the services would be much lower with regard to Alarm.com and other SHaaS providers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As per the new tactics adopted by Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, the platform will be made available to its existing customers, new customers from regional internet providers and television services, and earlier Icontrol customers. They will wholesale the services for many independent dealers that have major customer bases across many companies like Alarm.com, Honeywell, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alarm.com is one of the largest home security and automation company that has a customer base of about 5 million. By scaling up the competition with Alarm.com, Comcast<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> intends to bring forth more services and to liberalize the existing service offered under its Xfinity Home<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> system. Dan Herscovici, GM of Comcast\u2019s Xfinity Home<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> group has revealed the plans while speaking at the ISC West session. One of the key steps in enhancing the services includes a strategy for removing the various obstructions faced by Xfinity Home<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> customers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Herscovici, such reduction of various constraints from the service is possible since the company has a wide range of home automation, security, best internet service, television, and phone services. Moreover combining the IoT devices with the internet and cable offers numerous prospects such as the enabling of voice control.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The operational excellence of the company will enable it to offer far better services than most of its competitors. Herscovici said, \u201cWe\u2019ll share our operational playbooks. We\u2019re using the same platform we\u2019re selling. When we want to decrease false alarms by 5 percent, everyone [partners] benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1979\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1979\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1979\" class=\"wp-image-1979 size-medium\" title=\"Voice Control Enabled\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Cox-Internet-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Best Internet Service\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Cox-Internet-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Cox-Internet-1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1979\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Xfinity Home\u00ae system <\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Comcast\u2019s own ecosystem will enable them in sharing the market metrics with the customers, which other companies totally lack.
