What Rationale / Target

Application is There?

2

• Smart public lighting

networks offer:

• More than 10%

down in street light

energy

consumption

• Up to 25% lower

overall system

costs

• Add in an LED

upgrade:

• Up to 60%

energy savings

versus HIDs

• Maintenance

costs down by as

much as 95%

• Costly, ageing

infrastructure

• Lights consume up

to 40% of budget

• Ownership of

assets can be

unclear, further

delaying decisions

Intersection of

three crucial

trends

• Moore’s Law

• Metcalfe’s Law

• Truly Big Data

Can’t Mobile Networks Do That?

While

mobile operator technologies

have provided

increased coverage and data rates

for users of expensive smart phones …

… the missing piece

to the puzzle

has been

cost-effective

and

ubiquitous

Machine-to-Machine "dial tone"

to millions

of sensors and

devices

Networking characteristics:

• Throughput (bps to Mbps)

• Payload size (bytes to Mbytes)

• Latency (minutes, hours, days to msec)

And also in economic terms:

• Cost (CAPEX and OPEX to pure as-a-Service)

• Coverage of end-sensors (from, say, 95% to 99.9%),

• Reliability (retries over hours, days to QoS)

Think About the Network…

Network-as-a-Service

• Computing Fabric

- Large

- Capable

- Distributed

- Standards-driven

- Secure

• InterMesh beyond (but

including the best

characteristics of) LTE-

M, a.k.a Cat0 … and

cheaper than GPRS

• Basis of an Internet of

Important Things

• Coverage that offers:

- Storage

- Computing horsepower

- Immediate

communicative sensor

access

• Unique scale, scope,

capabilities

In Conclusion

10. Lighting is Good Fabric

9. Networking Has Enough

Standards to Protect a

Platform Investment

8. Smart City Economics

Need a Platform

7. Silicon, Telecoms, and

Data Trends are Converging

6. Cities Need a Range of

Economically Sensible Apps

5. Mobile Networks Were NOT Built

with the IoT or M2M in Mind

4. Achieving AdequateThroughput,

Payload, and Latency are Keys

3. as-a-Service Model Shifts Capital

Requirement Favorably

2. Drag-and-drop Applications and

Software-Defined Sensors are Possible

with the Right M2M Network

1. Cities are Already Taking Advantage

and the Race is ON
