Broadband access services have spread rapidly and are now widely diffused. Also, new network services offered via broadband access are attracting public attention. We are now conducting R&D on a home gateway that connects various devices and appliances in the home to the network and provides new network services through them. This paper introduces our newly developed Multigateway, which is a multifunction home gateway with an integrated broadband router and service adaptors. It then describes the concept of a platform for providing services for the next-generation network and the architecture of a home gateway called Service Gateway that realizes this concept. Finally, this paper describes a home appliance remote control service as an example of new services provided on the platform and describes our newly developed technologies that enable the realization of these services, including a prototype system.
