ATIS M2M Initiative:Opportunities and Benefits

Opportunities

Solutions are currently unique to each industry.

Potential for telecommunications providers to enhance services.

Potential to guide required M2M standards development.

Benefits Boost economies of scale.

Shorten time-to-market.

Simplify development of applications.

Expand business opportunities.

Reduce standardization overlap.

Why is the interest in this FG so high?

The revenue opportunity is enormous.

Forecasted >15B Connected Devices by 2015; >50B by 2020!

Analysts, academics, journalists, not to mention service

providers are all talking about M2M.

Subscriber saturation in the U.S. has occurred. There are now

more mobile subscriptions than U.S. residents. Machines and sensors represent the clearest way for mobile

revenue and services to grow.

Many telemetry applications do not use much bandwidth.

Attraction is similar to short message service: high margins, lowbandwidth consumption.

Industrial and other specialized M2M applications will be more

churn resistant than traditional man vs. machine subscribers.

Working Objectives

The M2M-FG addresses the M2M, Smart Grid, andConnected Vehicle opportunities identified by theLandscape Team.

The FG is currently assessing:

In depth Use Case Analysis for Smart Grid and Connected

Vehicle: Intent to tease out specific features / functions required for

ICT to support use cases; and

Hypothesis is that multiple use cases will need many

COMMON feature / functions and parameters supporting a

common service platform for M2M.

Architectural definition for M2M Service Platform.

Identification of players across the value chain.

Connected Vehicle Sub-Team

Completed assessment of selected use cases that appear toprovide significant commercial opportunities within the ITSsector.

Analysis determines how ICT communications could be

leveraged within various use cases and considers the

advantages and challenges associated with utilizing commercial

communication services.

Initial use cases sourced from U.S. DOT, BII, DMA, AERIS, ETSI

and ATIS Landscape information.

Assessed industry architectural frameworks and currently

comparing the different frameworks in order to determine whatis most applicable.

Sub-team will analyze the status of standards related to theuse cases and will highlight standards needs to address theuse cases.

Location-based data on nearby gas, lodging, alternative fuel

locations, etc.

Information to synchronize traffic light patterns to optimize traffic flow

Data from vehicles to better plan roads and how to balance traffic

Electronic toll collection

Electronic Payments

Charging vehicle from a charging station at someone elses home

Charging vehicle from a public charging station Collecting diagnostic information and informing when a repair is

needed

Smart Grid Sub-Team

Completed assessment of selected uses cases that arerelevant to the transmission of the Smart Meter data andfocused on key actors in the consumer domain.

Initial use cases were selected based on SGIP use case workalready completed (1400+ observed).

Assessed industry architectural frameworks and currently

comparing the different frameworks in order to determine whatis most applicable.

Sub-team will analyze the status of standards related to theuse cases and will highlight standards needs to address theuse cases.

Common Service Functions/Capabilities

13

FG is identifying common service functions across thedifferent use cases of M2M, following prior work on individual

use cases.

Recognized that the current status of M2M is that the application

usually incorporates an application specific service layer function

within it and these functions many times are duplicated acrossdifferent M2M applications.

There can be substantial benefit from creating a common

service layer in the network that provides functions and/or

capabilities that are common across multiple M2M

applications.

The FG will outline some of the common functions/capabilities

that are required for most M2M applications, in particular, the

Smart Grid and Connected Vehicle use cases.

Common Service Functions;Business Needs

15

Having a common service layer simplifies application

development allowing the application developer to focus on

the application rather than the communication and

management of devices.

Source: Beecham Report, 2008

Middleware (device management,control, diagnostics, status &monitoring, location & tracking,storage) share of what the end userpays for the service in all sectors transportation, healthcare etc.using any network

According to the

Beecham report,the value for such

a service layer is

several 10s of

billions of dollars.

Focus Group Value to ATIS Members

Identifying thecommonalities

across the M2M verticalswhich no other standards bodies are addressing.

Opportunity to define ICTs contribution and role in these

emerging markets.

The mobility aspect of M2M, Connected Vehicle, &Smart Grid makes ICTs role critical.

LTE will be a significant enabler.

M2M value-added services remain a relatively untapped

market for ICT. Definition of service catalogs for quick discovery & activation

of revenue generating services.
