2 Market Trends Give me more DATA! Want to connect to the units On Demand, More granularity on the data being read. Increasing pressure of regulations : MC, Security and Safety The End of the Classic PSTN Security & Cyber Security Event Logs, Alarm Logs, User Authentication, ATEX ZONE 1 Increasing unreliability, Cost of maintaining land lines. Empower the operators Optimize time spent in the field, Limit risks, Optimize access to Support resources.

3 Market Trends/Requirements Conflicting? ATEX Zone 1 On demand data RF radios Battery operation

4 Too Many Trying to be the Network of IOT 3 Licensed Spectrum UNB No Proprietary Protocols Industry Focused Large ECO System True Command&Control

5 Cellular Radio Technologies Evolution Migration 2G 3G 4G LTE High latency circuit switched Low latency IP connectivity High bandwidth High cost High power Low bandwidth Low cost Low power Broadband Narrowband 2G 3G 4G LTE CAT-6 CAT-1 CAT-M1 CAT-9 CAT-NB1 (NB-IoT) MWC 2017 Barcelona Now Cat-1, Cat-M1, CAT-NB1

6 Cellular Radio Technologies Evolution Comparison of lower Cat LTE Technologies for IoT * *Source: Gemalto M2M: Modules Roadmap, Technology& Standards 6th March 2017 MWC 2017 Barcelona

7 What Category is Best for Remote Connectivity? Machine Type Communication Decision Tree* *Source: Gemalto M2M: Modules Roadmap, Technology& Standards 6th March 2017 MWC 2017 Barcelona

8 Focus on PSM - Power Saving Mode Data trans. Power Saving Mode (useful for outgoing data) - Lets the modem hibernate between data transmissions while remembering its network state (no need to re-register) - Power consumption in hibernation: 4 μa - Gain on battery lifetime: x2 (compared to shutting modem off) - Ex: Tx670 bytes / Rx 350 bytes on 2500mAh AA battery 1 transmission every 1 hour 1yr battery life 1 transmission every 6 hours 5yrs battery life 1 transmission every 24 hours 19yrs battery life Network Registration Data trans.

9 Focus on EDRX Extended Discontinuous Reception Extended Discontinuous Reception (useful for incoming data) - Lets the modem listen more infrequently for incoming data - Maximum listen interval so far: every 2.57 seconds - Now the listen interval can be up to 52 minutes Listening every 1 minute battery life x23 Listening every 5 minutes battery life x116 Listening every 15 minutes battery life x350

10 When Are The Networks Going To Be Ready? 9 *Source: Gemalto M2M: Modules Roadmap, Technology& Standards 6th March 2017 MWC 2017 Barcelona

11 What Does It Mean For Me? You can have : - A battery operated device - Available 24/7 - In ATEX Zone 1 area. At lower Cost With a lifetime of 10+ years That can be field upgradeable

12 Looking Back We Have a Solution For Give me more DATA! Want to connect to the units On Demand, More granularity on the data being read. Increasing pressure of regulations : MC, Security and Safety The End of the Classic PSTN Security & Cyber Security Event Logs, Alarm Logs, User Authentication, Class 1 Div 1. Increasing unreliability, Cost of maintaining land lines. Empower the operators Optimize time spent in the field, Limit risks, Optimize access to Support resources.

13 Security: You Are As Secure As Your Weakest Link! Correctors are part of a complete Ecosystem. Each link of the Data chain has to be secured! Example of System Architecture : Backhaul Cellular Network IP Based calling Electronic Pressure Recorder Electronic Volume Corrector , SMS, FTP Internet Internet Event Notification SSL Connection SSL Connection OPC MDM Server Utility Office End User Secure and redundant Data Centre

14 Securing Your Industrial Network: 13 Stringent Software registration process, Authentication and Authorization at Application level, Authentication and Authorization at Device Level, Rich Auditing information : Event Logs and Audit logs, Prevention against Brute force, SSL Certificates, No default passwords!.

15 Security Controlling Access To The Devices Alarm and Event logs Log access and changes to the units. As found, as Left and who changed parameters recorded.

16 Empower the Operators Dashboard based operation. Automatically extract key operation information : Current values, Alarms, Audit trail, Firmware version, Battery status. Automatically compare data against default values. Data is synced with a Cloud.

17 Empower the Operators Be aware of the condition of surrounding instruments. - Locate Instruments around the operator. - Flag those under alarm. Operators can efficiently react to field issues & optimize time in the field.

18 Empower the Operators Ensure each deployment is a success : eg. Site Survey. - Ensure cellular coverage of the site selected is suitable for the configuration ordered. - Report generation : Baseline the coverage for troubleshooting.

19 Empower the Operators Save time ordering spare parts for repair. - Enable easy part selection and ordering.

20 Empower the Operators Receive support when needed. - Direct Access to TAC support - TAC can remotely view the configuration of the instrument. - If allowed, TAC can make the changes remotely.

21 Empower the Operators Reduce risk when in the field : - Manage your sites by adding picture, GPS coordinates. - Easily locate the site you need to visit. - Application can take you to a site you need to visit.

22 Summary 21 HONEYWELL IS INTRODUCING A 4G/CATM1 MODEM AS THE NEXT GENERATION COMMUNICATION SOLUTION ADVANTAGES ARE LOW BATTERY CONSUMPTION, LOW COST, LONGEVITY OF TECHNOLOGY DESIGN IS FOCUSED ON CYBER SECURITY AND OPERATOR EMPOWERMENT
