What Rationale / Target
Application is There?
2
• Smart public lighting
networks offer:
• More than 10%
down in street light
energy
consumption
• Up to 25% lower
overall system
costs
• Add in an LED
upgrade:
• Up to 60%
energy savings
versus HIDs
• Maintenance
costs down by as
much as 95%
• Costly, ageing
infrastructure
• Lights consume up
to 40% of budget
• Ownership of
assets can be
unclear, further
delaying decisions

The Internet of Things and
Machine-to-Machine
Communication Trends
6
Intersection of
three crucial
trends
• Moore’s Law
• Metcalfe’s Law
• Truly Big Data

Can’t Mobile Networks Do That?
While
mobile operator
technologies
have provided
increased coverage and
data rates
for users of expensive
smart phones …
… the missing piece
to the puzzle
has been
cost-effective
and
ubiquitous
Machine-to-Machine "dial
tone"
to millions
of sensors and
devices

Networking characteristics:
• Throughput (bps to Mbps)
• Payload size (bytes to Mbytes)
• Latency (minutes, hours, days to msec)
And also in economic terms:
• Cost (CAPEX and OPEX to pure as-a-Service)
• Coverage of end-sensors (from, say, 95% to
99.9%),
• Reliability (retries over hours, days to QoS)
Think About the Network…

Network-as-a-Service
• Computing Fabric
- Large
- Capable
- Distributed
- Standards-driven
- Secure
• InterMesh beyond (but
including the best
characteristics of) LTE-
M, a.k.a Cat0 … and
cheaper than GPRS
• Basis of an Internet of
Important Things
• Coverage that offers:
- Storage
- Computing horsepower
- Immediate
communicative sensor
access
• Unique scale, scope,
capabilities

In Conclusion
10. Lighting is Good Fabric
9. Networking Has Enough
Standards to Protect a
Platform Investment
8. Smart City Economics
Need a Platform
7. Silicon, Telecoms, and
Data Trends are Converging
6. Cities Need a Range of
Economically Sensible Apps
5. Mobile Networks Were NOT Built
with the IoT or M2M in Mind
4. Achieving AdequateThroughput,
Payload, and Latency are Keys
3. as-a-Service Model Shifts Capital
Requirement Favorably
2. Drag-and-drop Applications and
Software-Defined Sensors are Possible
with the Right M2M Network
1. Cities are Already Taking Advantage
and the Race is ON
