  3. Billions of devices • Ericsson: 50 billion devices by 2020 • eCall: 14 million cars per year • Energy: 10bn sockets in North America • Nike+ shoe • Smart meters, grids, cities, dykes • Multiple communication modules per device? e.g. for a car?

  4. M2M applications by type

  5. M2M networks by type

  6. 2G/3G/4G and WPAN for M2M • Not one clear winner • WPAN best for in and around the home • How to connect to a gateway to internet? • 2G/3G/4G best for dispersed applications • Near global coverage • SIM based zero configuration authentication • Policy implications in use of 2G/3G/4G

  7. Impact on business models • The consumer is not the user • A company or government is M2M user • Controls parameters for millions of devices • Needs to contract connectivity for device • Change from one user, one phone to one one user, million phones. • M2M user have different requirements • Businesses are responding to some

  8. Business requirements Business requirements difficult to fulfil: • Switch mobile networks without SIM swap • Logistics of switching 10,000 SIMs is a nightmare • National roaming to avoid dark spots and failure • Negotiate roaming with local operators • Gives small operators a chance of M2M contract • Seamless access to home gateways • Guarantees on life time of network (30 years)

  9. A SIMple piece of plastic? • SIM-card locks M2M-user to network • If M2M users could be MVNO with own SIM-cards, they could roam and switch • Only public service providers have access to IMSI-numbers for SIM-cards • One option is to liberalise market and give private networks access to IMSI-numbers • See Logica for Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs – Flexibelgebruik MNC’s

  10. How? • Get IMSI from regulator • Outsource platform and HLR (liketelco’s) • Contract telcos in each country • It’s easiestifyouneedonlyone country • Great opportunity forintermediairies • Contract withbroadbandnetworksfor access towifi? • New, but standards exist

  11. Precedents • Everyone can get a block of IP-addresses and Autonomous System Number • Allows Googles and Amazons to appear • AS42848 is European Commission • Dutch Ministry of Defense has own IMSI’s • UK and NL allow private organisations to use GSM in unlicensed DECT-guard band

  12. Technical solution notenough • Over the Air update of SIM with new IMSI and crypto keys • Work on industry standard startedthisyearunderpressure of Apple • Control lies withtelcoforall parameters • Doesn’tsolveall business problems

  13. The options compared

  14. Other policy problemswith M2M • Numbering (enoughphonenumbers?) • Privacy (think TomTom) • Sharing public/private sector information • Frequency policy (M2M willlock in frequenciesfor 30 years?)

  15. Conclusion • M2M changes the market, with a new user emerging: The million device user • This user is currently locked in and can’t directly get access to numbers • One option may be liberalising the market. • M2M user willprobablyuseown SIM withown IMSI with OTA possibility • In case of case of acquisition or selling of part of business, SIMscanbeupdated
