Matter, a new unifying protocol, is making smart homes more accessible and affordable.
By standardizing compatibility across devices and platforms, Matter is leveling the playing field in the smart home market. This means that consumers can now choose from a wider range of products and brands without worrying about compatibility issues. Matter has ignited a surge in demand for new Matter Controllers, with an estimated 300 million smart home households worldwide seeking to adopt this technology. This represents a potential market revenue of $30 billion starting in 2024.
Unfair Advantage
The rise of Matter has leveled the playing field, making it more challenging for smart home competitors to differentiate themselves and grow in the post-Matter era. The integration of Google and Apple's mobile operating systems with Matter home apps gave them a competitive advantage in the post-Matter landscape. This gave them a natural edge, Android and iOS users tended to gravitate toward Matter platforms aligned with their respective mobile OS.
The challenge facing all players is how to differentiate and achieve success in the post-Matter home ecosystem.
Four Networking Principles & Primes Lab's Technology
• Private LANs are inherently private and not trackable by cloud servers.
• LAN-mode apps are designed to avoid cloud server tracking.
• VPN access to a private LAN avoids cloud server tracking.
• Bypassing user registration eliminates data collection by cloud servers.
Primes Lab's Virtual Teleporter™ technology facilitates VPN access to a private LAN, via LAN-mode apps, bypassing user registration to access digital assets or services on the private LAN. A corporate-grade VPN can be deployed on a private LAN in 5 minutes without requiring port forwarding or DDNS configuration.
Primes Lab’s Solution
Primes Lab's P2P Remote Access solution works as a Universal Matter Controller in the Matter platform. As a Network layer 3 technology, Primes Lab's solution offers capabilities that extend beyond what Google, Apple, and Amazon can provide within the Matter platform. In addition to seamless remote access to Matter appliances, the solution enables remote access to various other devices and applications on your private LAN, including Remote Desktop, NAS, and ad-free chat.
Primes Lab's solution empowers major Matter platform service providers to offer a more comprehensive and competitive remote access solution. By integrating our technology into their existing offerings, these providers can tap into the new Matter Controller market segment, expanding their customer base and increasing revenue by 10-20%. Within the 300 million Matter Controller market, this translates to a potential revenue boost of 3-6 billion dollars.

P2P Remote-Access Solution
(a VPN gateway plus a VMS server)
Primes Lab's technology combines a Private Matter Gateway (PMG) deployed on your home network with a corresponding Virtual Machine Server (VMS) in the cloud. This powerful duo creates two secure VPN tunnels, enabling any Matter-compatible accessories at home to be accessible remotely from anywhere tracking-free, bypassing user registration and intermediary cloud servers. The same technology enables Tracking-free App Solution (a LAN-mode chat app) by virtualizing PMG in the cloud, facilitating ad-free chat.
Additional Benefits
A fundamental breakthrough in computer networking, Primes Lab’s Virtual Teleporter technology provides many benefits to consumers and businesses alike. In addition to privacy and security mentioned above, it also offers —
Decentralization
The peer-to-peer nature of the Virtual Teleporter™ architecture allows devices as simple as a light bulb and as advanced as a computer or a smart car to coexist and cooperate without external intervention.
Autonomy
The value of many digital assets depends on their uniqueness and non-fungibility. Virtual Teleporter™ enables individuals and organizations to control their own digital assets without interference from others.
Interoperability
Unlike Matter, Virtual Teleporter™ addresses the interoperability issue at the fundamental network layer 3 technology. Equipped with this technology, devices made by different manufacturers or loaded with different software programs can freely communicate with each other. Full compatibility is achieved, and future proof is guaranteed.
Applications
Along with its great benefits, the Virtual Teleporter technology enables a multitude of new applications in the smart home and other markets. To list a few —
Secure access
Ensures that no outsiders can hack into vulnerable Smart Home devices like a network attached storage (NAS) device or a home security camera while still granting owner access bypassing user registration and intermediary cloud servers.
Remote control
Interact with devices or access a home PC while away from home without going through user registration and cloud providers (Apple, Amazon, Google, etc.) servers.
Private communication
Enables digital communications (such as text chat, voice, and video calls) to be strictly confined within the LAN or virtual LAN. No person or device outside the LAN or virtual LAN can eavesdrop or access the content of the communication due to no user registration and intermediary cloud servers.
Digital bartering
Any two parties can directly trade their non-fungible tokens (NFT) and other digital assets, eliminating the need for any third-party exchanges bypassing user registration and intermediary cloud servers.
Other Applications
Primes Lab’s solutions can be implemented in many sectors, such as automotive, industrial, medical, finance, etc.
