TDD Bands

Highly fragmented bands have direct impact onto ProductsProfiles, industrialization, and thus PRICE!

M2M/IoT CPEs are Highly cost-

sensitive!

Promising solutions….BUT…



.

Carrier Aggregation: Inter-Bands combinations (Rel. 12)

Pros : Innovative solutions to cope (somehow) with FragmentationCons : i) Need for Over-dimensionned Chipsets

ii) Risk for Profiles Roll-out / lack of visibility w.r.t deployments & refarming� BOM is directly hit

Digital Dividend

Slow Roll-outVery High Auction

Complex & expensive Certification (GCF, PTCRB, Mobile Operators…)

NEED Faster & CheaperCertification process

2G sunset & Refarming plans

NEED MORE Live ExperimentalPlatforms (5G Center UniS)

NEED Lower Frequency Bands:Cheapest Nationwide Footprint

& Inbuilding Coverage

Light Certification (e.g.WFA)

Interferences

Cheaper Access to Technology

IOT & Plugfestsrequire

enhancements for Multi-Vendors

NEEDFor

‘RRM’

NEED ‘Multi-Bands’ profiles

Nationwide Footprint & availability

NEED E2E infrastructure roll-out (e.g. SigFox)

Security, AAA, QoS, Roaming

NEED for Roaming

NEED for Inter-System

1st Limited initiative in Europe(Ofcom)

NEED more LARGE scaleTrials & Experiments

TV White Space

Bullet-Proof Interference Mgt

Ecosystem still in infancy(Neul, Weightless, Sigfox…)� Need incentives & support

NEED for extension of such concept (Dynamic

Access) to otherbands/systems

Expensive (& complex) Auction Biddings hit MNO dividends, no real new entrants � even more complex for MVNO

Initially used for capillary –Short range

Cutting-Edge Wireless Key enablers are more & more close to Shannon - More Bandwidth is needed



.

M2M/IoT StandardsEMBRACE overall Ecosystem

Respect for Diversity & Vertical MarketsStandard DevelopmentOrganizations (SDO) Certification Industry Alliances

Highly Fragmented due to (not only) different objectives, requirements & Vertical Markets

Standards Gap Analysis: Avoid ‘Not invented here’ & ‘Holy Grail’ Unique STD

Need for OPEN STD

IOT / Plugfests : Multi-Vendors & Competition

Avoid ‘Lock-in’ from some Key Technologyproviders

IPRs & ‘FRAND’ Essential Patents: Avoid the ‘Patent Chase’ & Trolls

Need for improved IPRs Framework

Need for Adapted/Balanced Voting Rights

SDO, industry Groups are NECESSARY: Critical Mass, Consensus, IOT, Dissemination

Need for FASTER Lifecycle

Incentive Mandates from Public Authorities(M490, M441, eCall…) Need for Adapted Innovation Funding Framework

SIM Cards: UICC, eUICC, IMSI Swapping



.

Recommendations

Lower ENTRY BARRIERS: Avoid Walled Gardens!

Quantify, Track, Monitor M2M/IoT adoption

Central service with Registration Database

New Spectrum policies

Balanced & Open Standards

Balanced & ‘Fair’ IPRs

2G Sunset clear Roadmap & Refarming

Open APIs (M2M platform & cloud)

Security, Privacy, Trust: ‘MUST have’, no doubt!

Need Appropriate level – Avoid ‘Y2K bug’ - Delays

Cheaper Connectivity Costs

Cheap Dev.Kits to thriveInnovation (Pi, Arduino)

IoT & Plugfest: Live Experimental platforms

Adapted Certification

Public Mandates with M2M/IoT requirements

More license exempt band
