Urban M2M applications in this scope Smart metering is acting as a booster Energy (gas, thermal, self-production), water (measurement, leak curtailment) and more… Urban applications may be much wider than smart metering City automation to control environment (air, water, allergy, pollution, meteorological information…), resource consumption, traffic flow control, transport like self- service cycles Farming, breeding, sustainable agriculture Watering management, field monitoring, meteorological data collection, wine grape monitoring Animal tracking Environment monitoring, disaster watch River monitoring, fire monitoring, alerting, earth quake monitoring Monitoring of industrial sites Environment and pollution control, goods monitoring, asset tracking, sub-metering, Many devices in these application fields will be self-powered (through battery or energy harvesting techniques)

a potentially huge market in Europe … an installed base of 500 million meters… 60 millions to become smart by 2012… source : Berg Insight Smart metering and wireless M2M Europe, 2008

Some possible services A tool for a better City For better City management Urban infrastructure ( transportation, watering) Water, gas metering Waste management Noise and pollution Monitoring Car traffic analysis Citizen information Monitor and analyze water and electricity consumptions Compare with citywide statistical data Better information on transport, congestion and pollution

Featuring the network services Network installation Ability to plan the deployment Simple on field operations (self-organization as much as possible) Test when installed Several M3N may overlap without creating perturbation and mix up Network operation and supervision Ability to monitor the network status Self-healing when a link is down as much as possible Network security : privacy, integrity, protection With respect to previously stated principles

Radio characteristics Frequency band – 863 to 870 MHz. May require a change of the present frequency designation / utilisation within CEPT Bit rate – in the tens of kbps; very low duty cycle (e.g. a few small messages per day) Range – up to 1 km in urban environments Energy management – ability to ensure long life for battery operated devices Clear strategy for dealing with interference and support for several collocated networks Functional capabilities – reliable bidirectional communication, optimized for collect, relaxed latency requirements, not meant for realtime local control loops
