IPv6 Over IEEE 802.15.4 IETF ‘6lowpan’ BOF Session 10 November 2004 www.helicomm.com
Helicomm Overview • Provide Standards-Based Wireless Systems • IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee, IPv6 • Leading Embedded Wireless Networking Platform • Embedded modules • Network gateways • Networking software & tools • Well Positioned in Several Key Global Markets • Home Control • Meter Reading / Utilities • Defense / Security Chinese President Hu Visits Helicomm-Beijing www.helicomm.com
IPv6 Motivations • Why IPv6? • Rapid growth in networked devices throughout Asia • Additional network address space, IP compatibility • Selective demand in US & EU for IPv6 feature set • Zero configuration, network self configuration • Why Helicomm? • Strong market presence in Asia • Deploying one of world’s largest Wireless Home Control solutions with Haier • Customers looking for integrated solutions (technology agnostic) • Modules, networking software, gateways (optional), tools • View ZigBee & IPv6 as Complementary • ZigBee for system interoperability & large / complex hybrid networks • IPv6 for IP back-office system compatibility & proprietary applications www.helicomm.com
IPv6 Application Scenarios • Home Control • ‘Wireless Lifestyle’ for integrated IP-based wireless solution (e.g,. Haier) • Standalone products that do not require / can not afford ZigBee gateway • AMR • Primarily for Commercial & Industrial electric meter aggregation • Current customers use GPRS & paging network for WAN • Security • IP-based video monitoring solutions commonplace (e.g., Sony) • IP-based wireless image capture / low rate video a natural fit • Other • Access Control (leverage existing IP infrastructure) • Parking Meters (integrate with IP-based WWAN) www.helicomm.com
