The Connected Appliance Revolution: Turning White Goods into Profit Centers

What if your products could connect effortlessly and reliably, right out of the box.

At CES 2025, UScellular invites you to explore a new era of connectivity designed specifically for white good manufacturers.

Smart home technology is evolving rapidly, and consumers are no longer satisfied with basic functionality, they want smart, connected experiences. To stay ahead of the competition, you must find ways to build lasting customer relationships and generate ongoing revenue. This means integrating out of the box, always-on connectivity into your product lines. 

Beyond Wi-Fi: Unlocking the True Potential of Connected Appliances

While Wi-Fi has become increasingly common in appliances, it's simply not enough to meet the demands of today's connected world. Here's why:

  • Wi-Fi is Unreliable: Relying on customer Wi-Fi networks introduces a single point of failure. Inconsistent signals, complex setup processes and network security issues lead to frustration and increased support costs.
  • Reactive Maintenance is Costly: Waiting for customer-initiated service calls means higher warranty claims and expensive repairs. Proactive maintenance, enabled by constant connectivity, can identify potential issues before they become problems, saving you money and increasing customer satisfaction.
  • Missed Opportunities for Engagement: Wi-Fi alone limits your ability to engage with customers. Imagine appliances that can provide personalized recommendations, automatically reorder consumables and gather valuable feedback to drive product improvement.

The Future is Updatable: Don't let your appliances be perceived as obsolete. Cellular connectivity allows you to deliver ongoing value with over-the-air updates that add new features and enhance performance, creating new revenue streams and fostering long-term customer loyalty.

Cellular Connectivity: Transforming Appliances into Profit-Generating Assets

Imagine a refrigerator that detects a failing compressor and automatically orders a replacement part, scheduling a technician visit before the food spoils. Or a smart washer that shares the specific cycle it was in at the point of failure.

This is the power of cellular connectivity. By integrating cellular into your appliances, you can:

  • Deliver Proactive Maintenance: Remote diagnostics and predictive alerts allow you to identify potential issues before they become major problems, reducing costly repairs and increasing customer satisfaction.
  • Create Personalized Experiences: Offer "smart" features like personalized recommendations, automated settings and remote control, enhancing the user experience and justifying premium pricing.
  • Generate Recurring Revenue: Extend the lifespan of your products with over-the-air software updates that add new features, improve performance and enhance security. Unlock new revenue streams through subscriptions and upselling opportunities.
