Session E:
New applications – new requirements for M2M:
Home Automation: DECT and ULE
Daniel Hartnett: DECT Forum
Business Development Director

2. Agenda Who are the DECT Forum. World Map, Adoption.
DECT/ULE: Complementing 5G
Typical Challenges of Home Automation in the context of 5G
DECT /ULE addressing those challenges
Key Benefits DECT / ULE
Bundling Voice and Smart Home services
Importance of infrastructure / Certification
The changing face of DECT: moving beyond telephony

3. Who is the DECT Forum
The DECT Forum is the international association of the wireless home and enterprise communication industry. DECT, DECT 6.0, J-DECT (Japan), DECT Security and CAT-iq are worldwide-adopted technologies with high relevance for wireless voice, broadband home and enterprise communication.

4. DECT World Map

5. Market Adoption
More than one billion DECT, DECT 6.0, J-DECT, DECT Security and CAT-iq devices have been sold worldwide, which continues to increase by over 100 million products per year. The DECT Forum has currently 50+ members and is located in Bern, Switzerland.

6. Typical Challenges of Home Automation in the context of 5G
Mission critical data transport (smoke,gas, flood)
Adequate bandwidth kb/s to Mb/s
long range:
Very low latency
(No)Interference
Vital signs data transmission (healthcare, wearables)
Battery life for low powered applications > 10 years
Voice transmission
Secure(encrypted)
Achieving large scale deployment with RoI

7. Addressing the challenges of 5G: Key Benefits DECT / ULE
Mission Critical: high reliability profits from unique dynamic channel selection affording no system down time
Bandwidth: Up to 1 Mbps with 12 Duplex channels
Range: up to 70 M indoor(walls etc), up to 500M outdoor
Latency: <10ms and down to 1ms for fast response times in critical applications
Interference: Uncluttered spectrum eliminates interference
Low Power:Battery Life>10 years for coin battery. Overall power budget is more than just the node
Voice: Voice competence is a key element of IoT. Voice control vital for future Smart Home.
Secure: 128 Bit encryption and higher for voice and data applications
IoP: DECT security, CAT-iq and ULE all use certification to gaurantee IoP

8. DECT: A perfect complement to 5G
DECT is not just a radio.
Transport layer, data layer, application layer are all part of our ETSI standard.
Standardized, Interoperable, Certified. A perfect complement to 5G

9. Going to market: Large scale smart home deployments are using the home gateway

10. Achieiving large scale deployment with RoI
Leveraging gateway infrastructure for Voice, Data, and Smart Home
50 million DECT enabled gateway deliver voice services such as HD Voice, Multiple Lines, 3-party conferencing, shared phonebook
For Smart Home: Only a simple firmware Upgrade of the same Home Gateway needed to enable smart home services
No additional GW
No additional Power budget for mesh repeaters
Large Eco System of ULE sensors

11. Certification: Interoperability promotes competition
Certification is a key aspect of developing new markets.
Ensuring Interoperabilty
Identifying specified functionality across a range of products
Ensuring quality standards
Giving service providers a large choice of vendors enabling healthy competition
DECT Forum and ULEA certification programs
