Presentation Title: M2M & IP revolution in radio
Speaker: Ashwin Dinkar
@CommsConnectAus #comms2014 COMMS CONNECT 2014
Today: M2M = Man to Man
COMMS CONNECT 2014
Presentation Title (the long version)
“M2M communications and the IP revolution in radio. A marriage made in the cloud with
down-to-earth benefits.”
1. M2M communications
2. IP in radio
3. The “IP cloud”
4. Benefits
• Data reporting
– Exceptions
– Status
– Measurements
• Control
M2M communications
• Reduce site visits
• Proactive & efficient maintenance
• Regulation
• Green technology
• Service levels
M2M drivers
Mobile Radio Networks
• Network Requirements;
– Coverage (100% of operational requirement)
– Reliability
– Resilience
– Security
– Predictable cost of ownership
– Voice communications
– Data communications

PMR
IP in Radio
• The PMR community was scared to use IP
– It’s the internet
– It’s not safe
– It’s not reliable
– Hackers/Virus Attacks
What did we find back then?
Despite the internet, IP backbones weren’t commonplace in PMR
4 wire leased lines
Microwave
Backbones as legacy as radio systems
What did we find back then?
But Backbone technologies were going IP Organisations wanted to converge backbones
. it was changing . .
It wasn’t about the internet
• Away from the backbone, IP allowed us to;
– Connect PMR equipment together (nothing new!)
– Create a distributed/resilient architecture
– Use standard protocols/applications e.g. TCP/FTP
Larger networks
Significant cost reductions for fully resilient systems Enhanced remote support capabilities (1st, 2nd, 3rd line) A shared backbone for PMR & other systems
• Can we connect sites with cheap ADSL?
• Can we use public MPLS services?
• Suddenly, it’s okay to be on the internet!!
Inside the cloud
• Do you need to know what’s in the cloud?
• You need to be aware of the system backbone requirements – Bandwidth
– Unicast/multicast
– Latency/Jitter
• Simoco has been deploying PMR over IP for 8 years
• DMR is fully built on IP principles
M2M & Cellular
• Cellular is dominant in the M2M space, obviously…
– publically available in 90% of the world
– 20+ billion texts sent every day
– 3G = 200+kbps
– 4G = 10’s mbps
So what are the benefits of M2M over radio?
Benefits of M2M over Radio
• Coverage
Benefits of M2M over Radio
• Reliability
• Resilience
• Security (Private Mobile Radio)
• Predictable cost of ownership
• Voice communications
• Data communications
– Status, short data, packet data
Fallback
Power backup
Generators
Batteries
Network design
Data Considerations
• Data rate
• Data capacity
• Data frequency
• Acknowledgements – where?
• Voice/data contention
• Latency
M2M over Radio & IP
Mixed Solutions
Summary
• M2M is huge and growing (2.1bn devices by 2021)
• Analyze the data requirement & choose the most suited solution(s)
• Coverage & capability
– Sweat the asset
– Advantages of PMR for data
• Open Standards
The Future: M2M = Machine to Machine
