2. 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)

3. a potentially huge market in Europe …
an installed base of 500 million meters…
60 millions to become smart by 2012…

4. Evolutions in machine-to-machine communication
M3N, low throughput (~20kb/s)
Industry site/city scale
Resource/environment control
Market trend
Large scale control, group of objects
Self-powered devices
Low throughputs
EN 1434 MBus  EN W-MBus  cluster networks
5-20kb/s, automatic meter reading
Local control, group of objects
IEEE … ZigBee /Smart Energy
250kb/s, Home/building automation, energy efficiency
2,5G GPRS
10-20kb/s uplink
10M*
20M*
50M*
Standalone machines, wide geographic coverage
M2M by GSM
SMS : message only
CSD : <10kb/s
First application (replace fixed lines)
Fleet management
GSM standard
1987
Avail. 1991
3G UMTS
2004
Increase throughput
Little impact on M2M
Toward high throughputs
4G / LTE
1980
1990

5. 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

6. 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

7. 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
