The conceptual Cisco Home Hub has been designed by Heinrich Zaunschirm and Emile Chuffart for Cisco as a rendering of what can be done to unify essential living space technology. The unit is characterized by its all-in-one design that sepias like a smart speaker, but maintains an upgradable design that will continue to meet the needs of the inhabitants for years. The base is equipped with a 5G router protected by a firewall to keep data and connected devices secure, while a built-in display offers intuitive file management and home control.
The conceptual Cisco Home Hub maintains a minimalist design accented by pastel colors and supports additional network-attached storage equipment. This enables the user to add or remove storage space as required.
