The Digital connected worldThe Internet of ‘Everything’

Web 3.0, The Internet of Things, a post-social phase of ‘integration’where smart, small and friendlynetworked devices gather data andtalk to other devices.

Based on advanced connectivity. By2020 +30 billion devices will bewirelessly connected by low powerradio (or WiFi or Bluetooth), enablingpeople to interact remotely withobjects, to meet immediate needs,and for devices to gather dataindependently of individuals enteringit.

A $19Trillion market (Cisco forecast).

SG20 – Areas of Work / Studies

ITU-T SG 20 will work on the following items: Framework and roadmaps for the harmonized and coordinated development of Internet of things (IoT), including M2M communications, ubiquitous sensor networks and smart sustainable cities and communities, in ITU-T and in close cooperation with ITU-D and ITU-R SGs and other regional and international standards-development organizations (SDO) and industry forums;

Requirements and capabilities of IoT and its applications including SC&C; Definitions and terminology for IoT; IoT infrastructure/ services available in smart sustainable cities/ architecture framework

and requirements of IoT for SC&C; efficient service analysis and infrastructure of IoT use in smart sustainable cities and

communities to assess how the use of IoT has an impact on the smartness of cities; guidelines, methodologies and best practices related to standards to help cities (including

rural areas and villages) deliver services using the IoT, with an initial view to address city challenges;

IoT end-to-end architectures; Data sets that will enable data interoperability for various verticals, including smart cities,

e-agriculture, etc.; High-layer protocols and middleware for IoT systems and applications including SC&C; Middleware for interoperability between IoT applications for different IoT verticals; Quality of service (QoS) and end-to-end performance for IoT and its applications including

SC&C; Security of IoT systems, services and applications; Database maintenance of existing and planned IoT standards.

M2M portfolio - BGAN

BGAN M2M – > 50kb

• Two piece units from Hughes

• Lowest cost/lowest power requirement

• Many users find two piece design handy

One piece units now from AddValue and Hughes • Utility-preferred

• Easier to install w/less potential points of failure

All available in C1/D2 hazardous zone certification

Artificial lift Rod pumps, electric submersible pumps

Help pump oil when well stops flowing on it’s own

Biggest user of electricity in the Oil and Gas industry

Constant monitoring of pump and well conditions improves production

5MB per month is standard usage rate for this application

Biggest selling BGAN M2M application to date

Ku-band VSAT backup using BGAN M2M

Router connected to both Ku/Ka-band system acting as Primary and BGAN M2M system acting as automatic failover backup

Router monitors both links and routes service accordingly

Likely to become largest BGAN M2M application

BGAN M2M in Utility Market

Recloser controls are a key component of a utility’s distribution network

Supply intelligence to allow recovery of systems in the event of a fault; uptime is biggest concern of Utility

BGAN M2M provides a high availability link from remote recloser sites, using 5 to 15mb of data per month for standard operation

One customer in Australia found they were able to eliminate the need to buy all new transformers by using BGAN M2M to better control existing reclosers – this saved millions of dollars!

M2M portfolio – IsatData Pro

IsatData Pro – 1kb to 50kb

• Land or marine version

• Hybrid sat/cell solution

• New container version

Vehicle/vessel/asset tracking

Compressor/generator/engine monitoring

Great for alarms!

Use I4 network so

Global coverage

What customers do with IsatData Pro

Tracking

• GPS location, 1 location/day to 1 location/minute

• Intelligent updates (fast when moving, slow when stationary)

• Geo-fence violations (safe/unsafe zones)

Fleet management (OHSE)

• Driver safety (panic, speeding, braking, long hours, no seatbelt, …)

• Vehicle utilization (odometer, hours of service, idling, …)

• Logistics (route adherence, ETA, driver ID)

Messaging, dispatch and forms

• Safety and logistics of having SMS-like capability ‘everywhere’

Simple monitoring and telemetry

• Daily heartbeat ‘all ok’

• Periodic updates supplemented with event triggers

• Efficient data transport (0.1MB on 3G = 10 kB on IDP)

Establishment of a commonly agreed (globally or regionally harmonised) approach to MSS licensing:

• Free circulation when already authorized in the country of origin.

• Domestic terminals: class/blanket licenses, e.g. no cumbersomeindividual terminal-by-terminal licenses

• Clarity and transparency in the national licensing framework

• Blanket operators authorisation

Licensing MSS terminals Guidelines for policy makers

Global: ITU GMPCS-MoU• Global MSS since the late ‘90s.

• Free circulation is offered to user terminals, which are:

• authorised by another administration (principle of mutual recognition)

• type approved and bear the GMPCS-MoU mark.

• Domestic licences should be granted based on class/blanket licences, rather than

individual terminal-by-terminal licenses.

Europe: ECC/DEC(13)01 for ESIMs

• In force since the beginning of 2013• Vastly implemented• Provisions for the harmonised use, free circulation and

exemption from individual licensing of ESIMs.

• One country issues license, others reciprocate

Licensing MSS terminalsThe need for a commonly agreed approach

1. At the Sub-Regional level (SATRC)

a. Decision 1 on Standards MSS terminals to meet type approval in the sub region (ITU-ETSI)

b. Decision 2 on licensing regime for MSS terminals in Sub-regional geographic area (Class/blanket licenses)

c. Decision 3 on free circulation of terminals between sub-regional member countries when already authorized in the country of origin

d. Decision 4 on implementation of the MSS harmonized regulatory rules in sub-regional member countries

2. At the Member countries level:

a. Translate the MSS sub-regional decisions in their national regulatory framework

b. Inform all relevant national administrations of the new MSS harmonized regulatory framework in the sub-regional geographic space

c. Inform other sub-regional member countries of the implementation and coming into force of the regional decisions in their national jurisdiction
