SYRACUSE, NY and WHITE PLAINS, NY — Carrier Corp. and IBM Corp. have announced the development of a new wireless remote monitoring and control service called Myappliance.com. Built on an Internet infrastructure supported by IBM hardware, software, and services, the monitoring service will be introduced in Europe this summer.

Myappliance will provide Web-enabled air conditioners that wirelessly communicate in real time with devices such as mobile phones and PCs. With the new remote control service, Web-enabled air conditioner owners will be able to set temperatures or switch the units on or off wirelessly, from anywhere at any time, using the secure Myappliance.com website.
