3 Hitachi and M2M Unusual, if not unique, in its scope related to M2M (just a few examples are highlighted) Hitachi is an M2M User Example: Hitachi Construction Machinery uses embedded devices, GPS, cellular and analytics to track construction machinery assets, monitor usage, etc. Hitachi is an M2M industry segment Vertical Supplier for the Smart Grid, ehealth, Connected Car/Telematics, Smart City, etc. (many others) Hitachi Power provides generation, smart grid distribution and control systems Hitachi Medical provides imaging, diagnostic, analysis, bioinformatics, HIS systems Hitachi Automotive and Clarion provide automotive control systems and IVI systems Hitachi is an M2M System Integrator Hitachi Consulting provides SI design, implementation and project management Hitachi provides M2M IT Infrastructure Hitachi Data Systems provides storage, servers, virtualization, etc. Hitachi provides Telecom Systems for Service Provider s M2M Offerings Hitachi Telecom provides LTE packet core, gateways and management systems for SPs plus middleware enabling multiple M2M applications on the same embedded device/gateway while abstracting complexities like Zwave, ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, etc. x 3

4 ATIS in Brief 200+ member companies 500+ subject matter experts Defines technology solutions and standards to support the timely roll-out of new products and services. Thirty years of industry leadership Diverse membership: wireline, wireless, cable and broadband service providers, telecom equipment and consumer electronics vendors, software developers, digital rights management firms, government and public safety agencies, etc. ~50 member C-level Board defines the strategic vision and priorities Most senior of all industry organizations; access to business, technical, operations CIO Council (SPs only): defines IT priorities recognizing the value of integration and evolution of network and IT; CIO direction distinguishes ATIS from other organizations Represents North American positions into ITU (via State Department) Standards and solutions covers all aspects of the technology lifecycle From innovation and solution design, to business use case formulation, to requirements, specifications, standards, interoperability testing, software tool kits, best practices, data collections, user guidelines and more... 4

7 ATIS M2M Activities Machine-to-Machine Focus Group (M2M FG) addresses M2M generally, and Smart Grid, Connected Vehicle, ehealth specifically: In-depth Use Case definition and analysis to identify common requirements/specifications Architectural definition for M2M Service Platform common Service Layer elements that enhance value of M2M services/apps ATIS Wireless Technologies and Systems Committee (WTSC) also addressing mobile healthcare: Protocols and enhancements to wireless networks and the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) to transport medical data securely. 7 7

8 Strategic M2M Opportunity Proprietary approaches to M2M cannot scale A Common Service layer will leverage core network capabilities and enable Service Providers to enhance the overall M2M ecosystem. 8

9 M2M Opportunity: Leads to onem2m Many industries are addressing M2M solutions and applications. Current solutions are unique to each industry, and often even unique across companies/systems in the same industry --- custom hardware and software. Result: longer time to market; greater development costs and operational expenses; and frequently inflexible, custom, tightlycoupled solutions. M2M services often rely upon telecom Service Providers for connectivity between the myriad of devices in the field and the M2M application servers SPs are optimizing networks to effectively meet industry needs for M2M communications; developing standards for these optimizations Common cost-efficient, easily and widely available M2M Service Layer, readily embedded within various hardware and software 9 9

10 onem2m Chronology Global Initiative to consolidate Service Provider related standards for M2M started in May 2011 by seven leading regional telecom Standards Development Organizations (SDOs): ARIB and TTC (Japan), ATIS and TIA (North America), CCSA (China), ETSI (Europe), TTA (Korea) First meeting held in Seoul (July 2011). Subsequent meetings in Washington, DC (August), Berlin (December) and Tokyo (March 2012) with bi-weekly teleconferences on average between each meeting. Formal signing of a Partnership Agreement by seven SDOs and first meeting of the onem2m Steering Committee held in Bellevue, Washington on July 24 26, 2012 First meeting of Technical Plenary held in Nice, France on Sept Next Technical Plenary meeting in Beijing, China on December Target release of first specification(s): 4Q

11 Goals of onem2m Develop one globally agreed specification with initial focus on a common Service Layer for Service Provider s networks to provide services to customers and users of M2M applications Consolidate current M2M Service Layer standards activities into onem2m Identify a common Service Layer architecture and identify gaps where existing standards do not fulfill the requirements and provide or initiate the creation of specifications to fill these gaps Collaborate with wireless and wireline SDOs and fora responsible for developing standards for Core and Access Networks Collaborate with SDOs and fora in charge of developing standards for the industry segments (i.e., domain-specific) aspects of M2M applications Develop specifications that will help drive the industry towards a goal of lower operating expenses, lower capital expenses, faster time-to-market, and mass-market economies of scale 11

12 Benefits of onem2m Reduce overall operating and capital expenses Improve time-tomarket Monetize new services Enable massmarket economies of scale Enable supplier interoperability Deliver a highquality user experience Leverage functions and/or capabilities common across multiple M2M applications Common service layer valued in excess of $10 billion* * Beecham Integration of services and applications across industry segments (reduce fragmentation) 12

13 Scope of onem2m Use cases and requirements for a common set of Service Layer capabilities. Service Layer aspects with high-level and detailed service architecture -- access agnostic view of end-to-end services: Protocols/APIs/standard objects based on architecture (open interfaces, protocols); Security and privacy aspects (authentication, encryption, integrity verification); Reachability and discovery of applications; Interoperability, including test and conformance specifications; Collection of data for charging aspects (used for billing and statistical purposes); Identification and naming of devices and applications; Information models and data management; and Management aspects (including remote management of entities) Terminal/module issues, device abstraction, other issues not yet agreed to be included in the scope of work or may be for future work. 13

14 Service Layer: Characteristics Common Service Layer characteristics across all industry segments: Provisioning Device management Configuration management Firmware management Device application software management Authentication and registration Device triggering Device communication Services (ex: location, messaging, etc.) 14 Group management for communication QoS/SLAs Policy management Data processing and storage Notifications Diagnostics API management Billing

16 Target Participation of onem2m Organizations ICT/Telecom SDOs Others standards and specifications setting organizations (especially industry segments) Industry groups Associations Specific technology organizations Individual Companies Service Providers (e.g., M2M SPs, Telecom SPs, Service Layer SPs) M2M service users (e.g., Utilities, Transportation, Health/Medical, Industrial, Retail, etc.) Vendors (e.g., M2M Application Providers) Regional/National Governmental Entities Participation needs to: Be open and well balanced Provide opportunities for various levels of participation Accommodate companies and organizations 16
