  1. Cellular M2MInnovations For the Smart Grid Hilton Nicholson President and CEO Hilton.Nicholson@Sixnet.com Homepage: Sixnet.com Solutions for Your Industrial Networking Challenges

  2. Cellular Machine-To-Machine (M2M) is Enabling Un-Tethered Remote Monitoring and Control Only 0.1% of Machines Connected via Cellular 45% of population connected via Cellular 50 billion machines* 6 billion People 50 million connected using cellular technology** 2.7 billion mobile phone users *Future World Consultancy, RSA **Allied Business, 2007 • General Market Trends • Over 45% connected via Cellular vs. only 0.1% for Cellular M2M • The number of Cellular M2M connections are expected to triple by 2014 • Nearly ubiquitous cellular coverage in USA • Implications for Smart Grid and Remote Monitoring and Control • Cellular is becoming a critical element of M2M communications

  3. Innovation … Thinking About the Problem Differently Source: General Electric

  4. Why is the Adoption Rate for Cellular Technology Slower in Power Utility Industry? • Cellular Solutions are Too Difficult to Implement • Cellular Solutions are Too Expensive • Concerns about Security and Reliability

  5. Why is the Adoption Rate for Cellular Technology Slower in Power Utility Industry? • Cellular Solutions are Too Difficult to Implement • Cellular Solutions are Too Expensive • Concerns about Security and Reliability • New Devices are Plug-N-Play • Cellular Rate Plans down to $8 per month per MB • Secure VPN, IPSec, & SSL as well as Dual Radios address these concerns

  6. Smart Grid to Smart Home over Cellular Network • Smart Home Benefits: • Consumer sells excess capacity • back to utilities • Lower utility rates • More control of costs Cellular Network Backhaul (Cellular) Last Mile (Zigbee) Fiber, Sonet/SDH Last Mile (Zigbee) • Utility Benefits: • Peak-Load Shifting reduces need for new • power plants • Reduction in Greenhouse Gases • Reduction in capital and operational costs Utility Operations Center (UOC)

  7. MicroGrid Management Over the Cellular Network Cellular Enables Optimal Management of Renewable Sources on The MicroGrid Wind Farm Hydro Cellular Network Backhaul (Cellular) Backhaul (Cellular) Substation Solar Backhaul (Cellular) Backhaul (Cellular) Fiber, Sonet/SDH Utility Operations Center (UOC)
