Giant Leaps on our Earth?

Made a giant leap to the Moon.

What are the challenges on our planet?

What challenges face our global community?

What can be done to make our lives more efficient and meaningful?What giant leaps can we make here on Earth?


4 Billion……

4 Billion IoT LPWAN connections by 2020(Jan 2015)


Leaps are needed on our planet

As planet co-habitants, we face serious global challenges.

e.g. Water/Climate Change


Water precipitation is changing(Source: National Center for Atmospheric Research.)


Climate change impacts Ag

Texas - 2012 $3.2 Billion of main crops were lost due to drought.Nearly 50% of the annual state Ag revenue (AgriLife)

Florida - 2010 $100 Million of crops were lost – 2 week freeze.(Florida Trend)

USA - Heat stress costs the dairy and beef industry $1Billion p.aIndia – 1970 – Cyclone – 2 Million cattle lost

UK Parliament report 2012 predicts that“Increasing amounts of high-quality horticultural and arable land likely to be flooded at least once every 3 years”


Food security is under threat


We need more food (and water)

3.8 Trillion cubic metres potable water used by humans p.a.70% used in Agriculture

By 2050 to meet food demand requires 10-13 Trillion cubic metres p.a. – Three times more!(Guardian)


Technology must create impact

Real-time climate information at a micro level for Agricultural Land.

More accurate climate modelling and prediction leads to better crop management and yield

Optimise water usein farming. Globally!

Real-time monitoring healthand location of livestock.

Reduce Heat Stress.Detect disease early

Earlier detection of floodingMore sensors the better the information.

Results in proactive and effective disaster management.

The more sensors that are located across our Ag Lands….…the more information we have to optimise yield, manage resources and threats


Species are under threat??

1,000 * What it should be!

NRDC state that $15 Billion US crops pollinated by bees e.g. 1 in 3 bites of food!

California requires half of all the US honeybeesfor its $2.3 billion almond cropPesticides (Bayer) – effected 35 US states (2006)


Next Giant Leap for Mankind – The IoT

Instrumenting (or digitising) the physical world

Billions of cheap sensors located across our planet “tweeting” tiny bits of information from the physical world

Digitised information used by Big Data and Apps to make intelligent decisions to make our lives better.

What IoT giant leaps would you make?



Developing the IoT Market

Are current technologies sufficient?

Do we need new technologies?

Has to be a wireless solution Support for large quantity of sensors, 1000s per cell Sensor Long battery life – 10 years Sensor Low cost connectivity < $2 Sensor Low cost service - $2 per year or less! “Tweeting” data comm rates Bytes/sec not MegaBit/sec! Distance sensor to mast, Kilometers not meters Coverage inside buildings Privacy and protection of data Scheduling of data exchange and guaranteed delivery Broadcast messages Mobility across borders and territories, national coverage

Market Enablement – Requirements


GSM/CDMA Designed for humans not for IoT devices Poor battery life High costs – terminal, monthly contract High barrier to entry - spectrum is not free Real life issues – data in emergencies

Japan Tsunami……cellular network crashed – disaster!New York 9/11 – overloaded cellular networkOKC – Tornado – overloaded cellular network

Zigbee / Bluetooth – great for small ranges only.. Wifi – great for small ranges, high powerHowever, they do have a part to play in M2M

Current technologies struggle…

To develop the IoT Market new wireless technologies are needed!



New “IoT‐Cellular” Technologies

Unlicensed radio spectrum is a great way to achieve long range, low cost,

low energy wireless data communications ideally suited for

most of IoT applications

New form of “IoT Cellular” for IoT data

TV White Space – IoT Cellular Data Comms

TV White Space refers to the radio frequencies that are allocated to a broadcasting service but are not used locally

Analogue TV channels where you watched England win the world cup in 1966 or the Queen’s coronation.

UHF TV Channels 14 - 69 (470-800 MHz) of particular interest due to propagation and global harmonization UHF travels far and penetrates buildings well TV channels are same around the world

Are Unlicensed Are Free FCC (USA) agreed commercial usage Q3 2012 Ofcom (UK) trials completed in Q4 2014


White Space has excellent coverage – 98%

Number of TV channels available (each=8MHz) taking all factors into account


ISM Band – IoT Cellular Data Comms

ISM = Industrial, Scientific and Medical

European ISM band - 868MHz (as defined by ETSI and CEPT) North America ISM band – 902 - 928MHz in the USA (as defined by

the FCC) License-free frequency bands


Low Power Wide Area Networks



Introducing LPWANs

LPWAN = Low Power Wide Area NetworkUnlicensed radio spectrumWireless – new form of “tweeting” cellularDeveloped specifically for the IoTNew paradigm for build of IoT solutions, Impact and ROI

World first open Standard for IoT LPWANs Open standards proven to develop wireless markets

Low Cost – sensor connections, data costs, IoT infrastructure buildLow Power – Sub 1Ghz radio, sensors exist on AA battery - yearsLong Range – 10km +(1 base station supports millions of IoT Messages per day)

Giant Leaps – Smart Energy (Source ‐> consumer)

SMART Cities – intelligent infrastructure

• City Wide sensor networks – the backbone of the city• Parking and traffic management – direction to empty spaces• ‘Smart’ Litter bins – emptied on demand• Environmental monitoring – traffic flow control to reduce CO2• Street Light optimization – activated by movement• Electric Vehicle (EV) re‐charging points (EVSE)• Road condition monitoring – variable speed limits, ice gritting...• Integrated traffic management – flow and congestion

SMART medicine – remote care of the sick and elderlyGiant Leaps – Smart Cities

SMART Logistics – Where is that container?

• Shipping lines own 20m containers - They have good visibility of location of every container on ships and in major ports- But the containers then go to any of 8000 trucking companies in the US.

• There is no standard way to track these shipments - Shipping lines have no visibility of location of containers, delays etc- Consequence ‐ one in three containers is moved empty, costing $30 ‐ $40bn/year

• Better visibility of location of containers moving by road• Low cost, long battery life tracking unit permanently attached to every container• Track every container, all of the time, minimizing empty shipments and saving $bns

SMART medicine – remote care of the sick and elderlyGiant Leaps – Smart Logistics

SMART Transport – Infrastructure to driver rewards…

Fleet management- Reduce emissions, consumption & costs

‘Pay as you drive’ (PAYD) car insurance Intermodal Asset tracking Road pricing & congestion charging

- Enabled across entire road network Emergency incident response

- Platform for Event Data Recorder (EDR)- Automatic notification of incidents, severity of incident, vehicles involved & substances being carried- Improved response times & minimised disruption
