Recent Trends in M2M
Key Drivers in M2M
Source: Cartesian, ABI, GTB News
Key Inhibitors in M2M
Acceleration in operator partnerships
• Increasing number of M2M operator alliances• Seven global MNOs partnering to offer global M2M services for MNCs via Jasper Wireless• MVNOs establishing partnerships with solution providers to address complex M2M niches
Global M2M opportunities still in early stage
• Total market is forecasted to grow at 40% CAGR (# of connections) over the next 3-5 years• Global adoption and solution scale is supported by improving global coverage, particularly in
key logistics centers such as China and India
ROI models being established• Falling module costs and M2M product maturation delivering improved ROI on solutions,
accelerating adoption in many areas
Open development initiatives• Verizon/Vodafone, AT&T, Orange, and Telefonica have all launched open development
initiatives to enable/accelerate M2M solution development
Regulation/investment promoting M2M
• In-car emergency eCall in Europe (2014); Anti-theft vehicle tracking in Brazil (2011)• Smart metering legislation in US and Europe
Module costremains a challenge
• With M2M modules ranging from $25 to $90, cost remains a major inhibitor to adoption, although increased scale and convergence on LTE may help in the mid-term
Customer sophisticationis still developing
• Understanding of M2M and its ROI is still emerging among enterprise customers• Complexity limits customer ability to rapidly identify ROI opportunities
Network and chipset compatibility
• “Single SKU” difficult to achieve for M2M solution builders as difference between CDMA/GSM and spectrum bands require increased cost and complexity
High-throughputapps still limited
• Adoption of high-throughput use cases such as video surveillance is limited• Dynamic displays are beginning to see significant traction, though in limited use cases
• Complex value chain – solutions require multiple players• Fragmented market with few dominant players and much confusion regarding player roles• Breadth complicates task of prioritizing and developing solutions

• Data centers that provide low cost storage capacity fully managed by operator personnel with security assurances
Hosting/ Shared Storage
• System-wide visibility into module status for specific applications that are required to display on/off status persistently
• Enables sensitive applications or higher priority users to get higher service levels or preferred access when congested
QoS
• Enables capture of module’s locationLocation / LBS
• Enables secure transfer of sensitive, financial information
Payment / Transaction
• Use of Short Message Service to alert other machines or humans of emergency situations that may arise
SMS
• Allows the module to operate on other networks domestically and internationally
International / Roaming
• Enables efficient distribution of high bandwidth content to multiple simultaneous users
• End to end IP architecture provides enhanced security and interoperability across wireline services
All-IP, IMS Based Core
• More intelligence at network edge (fast adapting links & efficient retransmission) enhances the ability to maintain a session
• Visibility into device’s details, remote kill, password reset, etc.
Device Management
• Continuous packet connectivity to efficiently maintain sessions – avoids delays incurred for session set-up
Always On

Shipping is one of the more mature M2M use cases, and calls out the need for global operator partnerships, as well as a satellite strategy
M2M Use Case
Illustrative M2M Use Case: Global Shipping
• Need for solutions that work across multiple markets and technologies (e.g. satellite/cellular)
• Major challenges exist given CDMA vs. GPRS, spectrum band differences, international coverage gaps, and cost constraints
• Acquisition of a well-positioned solutions provider could increase M2M capacity
• Leverage GPS or satellite-based endpoints to communicate location or status of goods over a wide geographic range
• Requires device provisioning and back-end analytics/alerts
• Hardware components may require long battery life and low power usage, depending on use case
Solution Description
Operator Opportunity
Key Use Cases
1. Global tracking capability:

Consumers also have use cases, although needs are often covered by alternative methods and technologies such as WiFi or Bluetooth combined with a smartphone
M2M Use Case
Illustrative M2M Use Case: Consumer Tracking Solutions
• Substantial consumer adoption for pets at a lower price point (i.e. carrier subsidy could drive adoption)
• GPS offers the best solution with most locations where tracking is required outdoors, but the satellite communication channel has a weak value proposition
• Provide ability to send location, alerts, etc. in real time instead of passively storing it; enables command issuing and communication with vehicles
• Track route/activity without need to remove fitness device
• Pet: M2M could help easily locate and track pets when necessary, adding the benefit of network coverage of MNOs
• Car/Driver: Geofencing allows users to draw zones around places and can be linked to alerts, immobilization, etc. Simple functions using location data also included
• Fitness: Device attached to shoes or clothing (for runners) or bike (for cyclists) transmits data to server that tracks and analyzes fitness progress
