3 From Telemetry to M2M Communications Concept of telemetry Three very common technologies Technologic progress M2M Communications

4 Concept of Tele Metrion Telemetry Telemetry is a technology that allows measurements to be made at a distance (tele metrion) The earliest telemetry system was one based on a electrical wire The earliest known United States patents for a telemetry system was granted in These first telemetry systems were used by electric power companies to monitor the distribution and use of electricity throughout their systems The German V-2 rocket used a system of primitive multiplexed radio signals called "Messina" to report four rocket parameters

Three Very Common Technologies + + WIRELESS

5 Three Very Common Technologies + + WIRELESS SENSORS INTERNET PERSONAL COMPUTER Are coming together to create machine-to-machine communications, or M2M. The concept holds great promise in promoting telemetry's use by business, government and private individuals.

6 Technologic Progress Modern M2M communications represent vast improvements over the classic telemetry systems: Remote sensor technology offers increased sensitivity and accuracy Analysing computers and software to work at a faster pace The explosive growth of public wireless networks is probably the biggest change that has opened M2M communications to many more sectors 4,9 billion people already connected (65% of 7,08 billion population) by terrestrial MNO s (Orange, Vodafone, AT&T, T-Mobile etc.)

7 A Bright Future for M2M Communications M2M communication appears to have a bright future. It's a flexible technology that uses common equipment in new ways. Every day, businesses, engineers, scientists, doctors and many others are finding new ways to use this new communications tool connectable machines Market is open to develop Low investment, high return Very little churn

8 A Bright Future for M2M Communications Many current autos are equipped with sensors that feed information to production plant's computers Growing interest in tracking containers

9 MSS - The Bright Future of M2M Competing with terrestrial mobile operators within the mobile coverage, in the most part appears to be an impaired battle.

10 However, once in the field M2M user finds himself in a hostile environment with no wireless mobile coverage. No matter how hard he tries, he can t get a signal.

11 He is not alone Lack of mobile phone coverage is still a very common problem in many parts of the world. 60% of the earth is not covered by terrestrial mobile or landline networks.

12 Benefits of Satellite Communications Benefits of introducing a satellite communication link into a SCADA system include: - Ubiquitous service territory closes gaps in terrestrial coverage - Fast, cost-effective deployment with low hardware and installation costs - More reliable than congested cellular data networks

13 Keys for Success of Satellite M2M Satellite M2M hardware and equipment have been continuously reduced in both size and cost during the last five years

14 Satellite & M2M Communications Globally, satellite M2M is experiencing growth Organisations require more cost-effective communications and on 60% of the earth, satellite networks are the only communication means available A struggle for satellite in the M2M sector is the fact that there is a lack of knowledge about the technology and its benefits A recent analysis from Frost & Sullivan - World Satellite Machine-to- Machine Communications Market: - The market generated revenues of $726 million in Revenue is estimated to reach $1.9 billion by 2016
