3 Our homes are the places where we live and have our most enjoyable and intimate human relationships. They are places of comfort, security, and human connection. As innovation continues to move forward, we must ensure that technologies used within our homes promote that sense of comfort, well-being, and connectedness by way of innovating solutions that are safe, reliable, energy-efficient, and cost-efficient. For over 75 years, TE Connectivity™ (TE) has been a global technology leader, as demonstrated by our extensive portfolio that includes more than 14,000 patents. TTE designs and manufactures connectivity, sensor, relay, and switch solutions that are essential in today's increas- ingly connected world. We help our customers solve the need for intelligent, efficient, and high-performing products and solutions. Our commitment to technological advancements within buildings is built upon our unmatched breadth of connectivity and sensor solutions. With 75,000 people—including more than 7,000 engineers—working alongside customers in nearly 150 countries, we help ensure that EVERY CONNECTION COUNTS™. TE is leading the way in transforming connected homes and buildings into smart homes and buildings. Just a few years ago, "smart" referred to individual electronic devices that could connect to a home or building's wireless network. Now, "smart" no longer refers to distinct connected devices, but rather to entire systems of connected appliances, lighting, security, HVAC, access, power systems, entertain- ment systems, and more that all communicate with each other and work together. These smart systems don't just communicate and work with each other; they can respond to sensor input. Offering one of the broadest sensor portfolios in the industry, TE's innovations enable the measurement of power, signals, and sensing data, including pressure, temperature, position, vibration, and humidity while delivering high reliability and performance. Smart homes and buildings can use these connections, sensor data, and environmental inputs to adjust connected devices to ensure comfort, well-being, and connectedness…and do so all while delivering high reliability and performance. These emerging markets demand innovation and industry leadership to ensure comfort, security, and connectedness are at the core of increasingly complex and connected systems underpinning where we live, work, and play. Whether you are looking to design next-generation panel displays, door alarms, interior track lighting, or enhanced security features, we welcome you to see in the following pages how TE Connectivity is empowering you to make your connected home and building ideas a reality.
