Hello,
I was wondering how much it would cost a large corporation (For example Samsug or Motorola) for the development of a new home automation product line similar to products found in the following web site:
http://www.control4.com.au/
Basically, would a large electronic corporation be able to put a line like this on the market in 6 to 8 months or would it be more like 6 to 8 years. Bearing in mind that modules have to be created with intgrated touch screens filled with a multitude of options and have the ability of communication by RF from one module to another. Also, keeping in mind that a full system integration of circuitry such as micro processors (100000 lines perhaps) flash memories, CPLDs would need to be implemented. And suppose we were to integrate a camera aswell.
Can anyone express the amount of effort and money that would be required for a company to compete with an already existing company like COntrol4?
Just seeking some feedback on this issue.
Thanks for your input.
With regards
Rob
