Bringing Better Networking To LTE IoT
2
Challenges In Bridging The LTE IoT Gap Today, Neither LTE IoT standard supports real-time, low power networking
1. Both LTE Cat M1 and NB-IoT are physical layer only 1. Not a complete networking stack
2. TCP/IP is default networking stack 1. Slow, onerous handshaking and authentication 2. NOT low power 3. Weak P2P and ad hoc networking support 4. Can’t support important IoT use cases
3
The “Haystack Option” Place parallel, low power real-time networking stack with TCP/IP
• Two stacks that run concurrently on same silicon • TCP/IP connectivity for conventional WAN comms • DASH7 connectivity for indoor/LAN applications including indoor
location, P2P/ad hoc networking • Additional security + other features
• Benefits • Minimal memory footprint impact. Haystack (DASH7) compiles into
<30KB • No carrier gateway/base station mods required, DASH7 connectivity is
LAN-based • Provides viable enterprise market entry strategy for cellular IoT

Result: Complete LPWAN-LAN Connectivity Sample Use Case: Extend Supply Chain Visibility Gaps That WAN’s Can’t Address
WAN provides basic wide area visibility via GPS,
cellular trilateration
Haystack LAN provides indoor location where GPS and cellular
trilateration fail
LPWAN Provides Wide Area Location, Environmental Visibility
Haystack LAN adds to WAN: ‣ Precision, real-time location features ‣ “Hotspot” data transfers ‣ 2-factor authentication ‣ Possible to enable distributed
chain-of-custody features ‣ No extra chips
Haystack Powered LPWAN-LAN Provides Precise Indoor Location, Environmental Visibility

IoT LTELoRa SSMSK
• SDR-based 4G basebands that can support a range of standards from GSM to OFDM-types are capable of being modified in firmware to support emerging IoT modulations.
• Nearly all emerging IoT modulations (SSMSK) have lineage from GSM and CDMA specifications, and represent simple enhancements.

Goal: add emerging IoT modulations to 4G baseband, as a firmware- only solution.
Enabling Haystack via LTEGMSK Modulation (and others) can be synthesized by 4G/LTE baseband transceiver

Haystack Endpoints with LTE CAT M1 LTE CAT M1 and TCP/IP can operate concurrently with DASH7
LTE CAT M1 transceiver
Compact, low cost,
low-power LTE-CAT M1/LAN nodes
LTE CAT M1 spec presently lacks layers 2-6, but it stipulates requirements for channel agility and bursty communication.
The DASH7 stack can run concurrently with TCP/IP, on the same hardware.

Indoor Location with Haystack

AP1. Access point keeps
network synchronized, and gets vertex data from users in the
Endpoint 2. Endpoints are mobile, battery-powered devices
3. Small battery or USB-powered
“reference nodes” are placed on fixed
things & places

Today, neither LTE Cat M1 or NB-IoT offers a high-precision, real time, indoor location capability on its own.
But Haystack does this.
Endpoint
Using RSSI & RF “fingerprinting” with scattered reference nodes: ±1m precision has been observed
