| - | The adoption of broadband internet and the proliferation of wifi-connected devices such as smartphones, web tablets, and netbooks has resulted in the computer network becoming a standard feature of the modern home. But there are a number of ways in which the modern householder is yet to realize the full benefit of this home networking revolution.

| - | OpenHome is an independent body committed to redressing this through the design, implementation, and promotion of open standards. It stimulates innovation by transforming the home network into a rich environment for applications that fit with the way people live.

| - | Users of personal computers and portable computing devices are familiar with the process of installing applications according to their own personal tastes or needs. But there are a number of applications that do not fit neatly into this pattern of deployment and use.
| + | [[ohMedia|ohMedia]] is an open standard that allows the seamless interaction of media within your home. |
| | | | |
| - | The OpenHome Operating System, ohOs, fills this gap by providing a place to deploy software that is for use not only by a single individual but by all the members of a household. And in doing so ohOs opens the way for applications that:

| |
| - | OpenHome maintains that open standards are best developed in parallel with real-world implementations of those standards. This ensures that they are both fit for use and immediately available for use.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | In pursuit of this principle, OpenHome publishes an ever-growing suite of high quality, open software that is actively maintained and already proven in successful commercial products.
