What is LTE-M (M1) & NB-IoT (M2)?
LTE-M1 (CAT M) definition:
• Power save
• eDRX - Extended DRX (Sleep)
• Power Saving Mode
• Small data optimizations
• eMTC - Enhanced Machine Type Communication
• Lower complexity – “CAT-M1”
• Single receiver
• Half Duplex FDD
• 1.08 MHz bandwidth
• Lower power PA (20 and 23 dBm option
• Coverage enhancement
• Older 3GPP features (+voice)
LTE M2 (NB-IOT) definition:
• NB-IOT work item
• Primarily based on LTE and LTE-M1
• Similar power saving Modes as LTE-M1
• NB-IOT now called “CAT-M2”
• Single receiver
• Half Duplex FDD
• 180kHz MHz bandwidth
• Low power PA – TBD
• Single Tone UL mode

@M2MConnectivity
Roadmap for LTE & LPWA
LTE 2016 -> 2017
– LTE Cat 1 and Cat 0 available in networks
– Some module vendors have announced products to be available late 2016
– Will it be better to wait for LTE Cat M1/M2 in 2017?
LTE 2017 -> 2018
– LTE Cat M1 (aka Cat M)
– LTE Cat M2 (aka Cat NB-IOT)
– Qualcomm planning one chipset supporting M1 and M2 (version controlled by software)
– Module costs likely to start around $20-30 and drop (versus oft quoted chip costs of $5
or less)

@M2MConnectivity
New LPWA Operators
Sigfox
• Local Operator with License
• Building Out Network
• Plans as low as $2-3 p.a
LoRaWAN
• Network could be used
by cellular operators and
connected to their core
• Can be built as a private
network or create new
operators
Ingenu
• Random Phase Multiple
Access (RPM) Formerly
known as On-Ramp
• Planning national
network

Selecting the Right Hardware – Build or Buy?4
Hardware Selection Consideration
Pros
• Complete Control
• Cheaper at Volume
Cons
• High Initial Investment
• Complex
• Cost to Maintain
Pros
• Software Control
• OEM Support
• Cost Effective
Cons
• Risk of End of Life
• Minimal Hardware Input
Pros
• No Development Time
• Minimal Technical Skill
• Lowest Capital Outlay
Cons
• Minimal Control
• Risk of End of Life
Develop from Board Level Finished Hardware Complete Solution

@M2MConnectivity
Selecting the Right Hardware – Build or Buy?4
Hardware Selection Consideration
Technical Considerations
• Where is the device going? - Rugged, IP Rating, SAR Testing, Global Footprint
• Included Technologies – Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave, WiFi, Satellite, etc
• Can you access, update or restart the device remotely?
• How well does it integrate into your existing systems or your customers systems?
Commercial Considerations
• Redundancy – Can you afford any downtime? If not, how can you manage this?
• Operating Costs – How much does it cost to install, maintain and repair?
• Upgrade Paths – Cheaper device now and upgrade later or future proof today?
• Competition/Collaboration – Is someone doing this today? Can you collaborate?

Transmission Protocols & Addressing5
TCP vs UDP
Pros
• High Reliability of Delivery
• Packets are Ordered
• Error Checking and Recovery
• Two Way Communication
Cons
• More Data Overheads
• Requires Handshake
• Less efficient for small data
transfers
TCP
(Transmission Control Protocol)
Pros
• Fast Delivery
• Less Data Overhead
• Error Logging
• No Handshaking
Cons
• Unreliable Delivery
• No Packet Ordering
• No Recovery Option
UDP
(User Datagram Protocol)

@M2MOneAU
www.m2mone.com.au
@M2MConnectivity
Public Internet Access via NAT
with dynamic private addressing
Pros
• Easy to Aquire
• No Set-Up Costs
• No Additional Monthly Fees
• Typically the same worldwide
Cons
• No Fixed Addressing
• Data out over public internet
• Need server or application layer
for two-way communication

@M2MOneAU
www.m2mone.com.au
@M2MConnectivity
Public Internet Access with dynamic public IP
Pros
• No Set-Up Costs
• Low/No Monthly Fees
• Addressable IP
Cons
• No Fixed Address - DynDNS
• Not universally available
• Uncertain Future
• Risk of DDoS or Packet Sniffing
Activity causing data spikes

@M2MOneAU
www.m2mone.com.au
@M2MConnectivity
Private Static IP Addressing
Pros
• Secure
• Addressable IP that never changes
• Direct Access to Devices
• Reliability of Delivery - Great for UDP
Cons
• Typically higher set-up & monthly costs
• Requires additional networking – VPNs, etc
• Uniquely managed in most markets

Network Operators vs Specialist M2M Providers
Pros
• Competitive Pricing at Volume
• Low-Risk of Company Folding
• Whole of business solutions
(Phones, Tablets, ADSL, etc)
Cons
• Low flexibility
• Minimal support at low volumes
• Typically domestically focused,
minimal roaming options
Network Operators
Pros
• Single focus (M2M/IoT)
• Flexible at development and small
volume levels
• Access to multiple carriers/technologies
• Service & Value driven
Cons
• Margin on airtime makes high volumes
less competitive
• Risk of company folding

Mobile Data is a commodity product -
Control & Service are not
Mobile Network Layer
• Provides infrastructure
and coverage
• Can be sourced globally
• Service level varies by
carrier
Control Layer
• Control over SIM fleet
• Greater level of visibility
• Platform varies depending
on carrier
Service Layer
• Subject Matter Experts
• Dedicated Support
• Provide insights and
action based on
information from SIM
platform

@M2MOneAU

@M2MConnectivity
An example of the value of control & service
Company XYZ has set up a system to remotely monitor and deliver advertising content to a billboard
using public IP to access the device. They get hit by a random DDoS attack on their IP which causes
their device to constantly send data, this pushes them over their limit by 20GB overnight.
They are immediately alerted as soon as they hit their data limit, however they elected not to put a
hard cut-off in place and they can’t afford any network downtime. They remotely force the device to
restart and fetch a new IP but the usage has already happened.
Traditionally they would have to wait until the end of the month to see their data usage, with real-
time visibility they know they are over and can request a plan upgrade mid month to cover additional
usage rather than pay excess charges.
With M2M One moving from a 1GB to 25GB plan cost them $120 instead of $1050 in excess data.
