Networked Home Solutions offers two distinct packages:
-- Lifestyle Series packages that target specific entertainment enthusiasts (available packages called Music Lover, Movie Buff, Computer Whiz and Ultimate Entertainment Enthusiast).

-- Foundation Series packages that allow consumers flexibility to create a solution specific to their needs and ensure new homes are wired for the technology and entertainment people use every day.
