SoftAtHome Wins Network X 2026 Award for Most Innovative Smart Home Experience with Home Intelligence Conductor, LeON

Second consecutive Network X award win recognises SoftAtHome’s innovation in bringing practical intelligence into the connected home. Live demonstrations continue today in Vienna.

VIENNA, Austria – October 15, 2026 – SoftAtHome, has won the Most Innovative Smart Home Experience award at 2026 Network X for its Local Agentic AI in the Home Gateway solution.

Unlike conventional AI assistants that simply answer questions, SoftAtHome’s gateway-based agent can take action. Through familiar messaging apps such as WhatsApp or Telegram, users can ask it to identify and address security threats, manage connected devices, or adapt parental controls to family needs.

The innovation lies in combining local AI with an operator-controlled security framework, allowing broadband providers to define, monitor and manage exactly what the agent can do, while keeping sensitive home data private.

This is SoftAtHome’s second consecutive Network X award, following its 2025 win for Leading In-Home Wi-Fi Service with WorkAtHome. Both recognise the company’s focus on turning advanced technology into practical, valuable services for connected homes.

The award-winning solution is being demonstrated today, the final day of Network X, at SoftAtHome’s booth G4 in Vienna.
