Transcript

1. M2M - the Next Step in IoT Based Devices and Systems Speaker: Karen Tamrazyan IoT @ Siemens 2018, 20 Feb. 2018
2. Buzzwords IoT M2M = Internet of Things = Machine to Machine
3. IoT & M2M IoT = M2M ??? 1) Can every machine be a thing? Yes! 2) Can every thing be a machine? No!
4. IoT & M2M M2M is a subset of IoT! IoT M2M
5. M2M Examples • wending machines • smart meters • self driving cars • smart homes
6. M2M Use Cases • position tracking • remote monitoring • remote management • proactive servicing • leasing
7. Use Case: Platoons
8. Road Trains https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEsuZiw0gjk
9. M2M Connectivity Wireless • wireless wide area network (WWAN): o3G o4G • wireless local area network (WLAN): oWi-Fi • personal area network (PAN): oBluetooth oZigBee Wired • LAN / Ethernet • Power-line
10. M2M Topology Distributed • Peer-to-Peer • Self organizing Centralized • Central cloud • Message broker
11. Current State of M2M •Predominantly cellular: 2G – 4G •Communication is controlled by mobile operators •Involves intermediary (clouds, message brockers, NSA J)
12. Disadvantages •„Bulky“ SIM cards (+ slots) required •Security (more intermediaries involved) •Extensive bandwidth overhead. Think walkie- talkie, home to home talk, car to car, bluechat •A base station can serve limited amount of clients
13. Solution •Decentralization, P2P, ad hoc •Avoid providers & intermediaries where possible (this will be very difficult)
14. Circles of Evolution Mainframe Cloud PCs Smart Devices D I S T R I B U T E D C E N T R A L I Z E D
15. Two Predictions Disruptive • Decentralized, P2P • Ad hoc, self organizing • Make intermediaries obsolete Corporate • New nets: NB-IoT, LTE-M • Cheaper M2M plans • Embedded-SIM (eSIM)
16. Questions?
