(Telecompaper) AT&T and Telefonica have announced plans to begin a limited trial of AT&T's home security and automation service in Europe. Telefonica will be the first company to license AT&T's Digital Life platform, an IP-based, all wireless, home security, smart automation and energy management solution contained in a mobile app. AT&T said it would work with Telefonica to deploy the software and on-the-ground resources needed to operate the trial, with AT&T customising the user experience to be managed and hosted by Telefonica. The partners said the idea was to give OEMs and developers another channel to extend new services to global markets.
