Ridgeland-based C Spire, a diversified telecommunications and technology services company, plans to introduce a suite of next-generation home automation, security and monitoring services by the end of the year.

C Spire says its all-digital, IP-based services will be the first in Mississippi offered by a telecommunications provider. It will give consumers control and security of their homes using any web-enabled device, PC, tablet or smartphone with the Android or Apple iOS operating systems.

Called C Spire Home, the services will include the companys previously announced high speed, fiber-based Gigabit Internet service, digital HD television, IP home phone services along with new home automation, security and monitoring services.

The remote home monitoring, automation and security services will be able to control and manage devices such as cameras, windows and door sensors, locks, thermostats, appliance and lighting controls and smoke, carbon monoxide, motion and broken glass sensors.

The home automation, security and monitoring services are expected to debut by the end of the year. Initial availability will be in one or more of the first C Spire Fiber to the Home cities of Quitman, Ridgeland and Starkville that have qualified areas for related services through pre-registration. Other markets will be added in the future.

C Spire Home is a next-generation suite of Internet, digital television, phone, security, monitoring and automation services that helps move us one step closer to making our homes a hub for smarter living, said Suzy Hays, senior vice president of Consumer Markets for C Spire. With its unique integration and an intuitive app to easily control and manage every feature, this platform gives consumers what they want and need meaningful applications coupled with simple, easy interfaces.

The company plans to disclose details on monthly pricing and one-time installation costs soon, but Hays said the suite of home security, monitoring and automation services from C Spire will be competitive with other smart home solutions on the market today.

The C Spire Home touchscreen color control panel, built by Honeywell, is UL certified and will serve as the primary hub to manage C Spires all-digital home security, monitoring and automation platform.

(The Union home ministry)

NEW DELHI: The Union home ministry has asked state governments to "target" top leaders of CPI (Maoist), seeking to step up its intended offensive against Left-wing extremism amid concern that not a single extremist has been neutralised since Narendra Modi-led NDA came to power in May.

"The state police has been told to target the top leaders of CPI (Maoist) by constituting dedicated teams comprising personnel drawn from state police, Central Armed Police Forces and central as well as state intelligence agencies," a senior officer of Central Reserve Police Force told ET on condition of anonymity.

These teams will work only on apprehending the top leadership of CPI (Maoist), the officer said, adding that the state governments had also been told to substantially increase the reward on the heads of the leaders.

ET has also learnt that on June 27 Home Minister Rajnath Singh, at a highlevel review meeting with heads of police forces of the states and CAPFs, made a pitch for "political commitment" from the state governments for "eliminating Naxalism" from the country, describing it as the "biggest national security challenge". At least two senior CAPF officials aware of the deliberations at the meeting told ET that the home ministry expressed concern on the "overwhelmingly skewed casualty ratio" in favour of the Maoists vis-a-vis security forces and questioned why no Naxal cadre had been neutralised since the new government took charge on May 26 despite 100 battalions (1.2 lakh men) of CAPFs being involved in anti-Maoist operations.

Till May 26, Maoists killed 57 security personnel and 101 civilians while suffering only 33 casualties in return, the ministry pointed out at the meeting. The ministry has laid out a 29-point action plan against Naxals, an official said. The action plan includes making "full use of media social, electronic and print to demystify" the local populace from the adverse propaganda undertaken by CPI (Maoist) and "create a public perception" in favour of the government, another senior CAPF official said.

"The home ministry has asked for a legal crackdown against NGOs which act as front organisations of Maoists and floated a concept of 'smart counter-insurgent" by introspection and improvement in the tactical skills of security forces," the officer said. Home Secretary Anil Goswami said Naxals had rejected the call of the government to abjure violence and come for talks, even as they retained their "core strength" in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar and Odisha and were capable of resorting to "spectacular strikes", as per the CAPF official.

An interactive house has been launched online to help people protect their homes from burglars by improving both exterior and interior home security.

The interactive house is part of the Cambridgeshire Constabularys current Get Closer campaign, which aims to show residents how to strengthen the security of their home.

The page has three main sections, with the first allowing the viewer to take a tour both inside and outside the interactive house. This includes detailed information on how to maximise the security in specific areas such as the front door, garden shed and the garage. The advice given includes stressing the importance of security hinges on doors and putting up gates and fences.

In the second section, a self-assessment survey is available to complete which allows the tool to highlight any further preventative steps that would improve the homes security. The survey also provides an indication of how safe the viewers house currently is, using a red, amber and green coloured results page.

A list of useful organisations are provided in the third section which offer additional support and guidance for home security. These organisations include Neighbourhood Watch, Crimestoppers, and Immobalise contact details are also listed on the page.

Burglary prevention lead, Detective Inspector Dan Pawson, said: Burglary is traditionally one of the forces highest recorded crimes across all districts with more than 2,000 reports a year, predominantly due to insufficient security. Good, high quality security doesnt have to cost a fortune but can make a big difference.

You can visit the interactive house at http://www.cambs.police.uk/GetCloser/Burglary.asp.
