6. M2M & Transportation

7. M2M = Trillions of End Points, Sensors, Edge Nodes, Aggregators, Gateways, Etc.
M2M is more than just machine-to-machine
Mobile to mobile
Mobile to machine
Machine to mobile
All working together to improve process efficiency and productivity and the data demands of B2B, B2C, B2B2C, etc. as if all elements are in the same location
The way these points (machine & mobile) communicate with one another is evolving to match THE CLOUD
Ultimately, everything and everyone are connected
M2M leading way to Internet of Everything (IoE)
M2M includes sensors, gateways, aggregators, controllers and much more.

9. Factors to Consider for M2M: Remote, Manageable, Secure, Flexible
Enormous amounts of data constantly being collected by diverse devices
The Internet of Things (IoT)
Require reliable means of communicating – Wired and Wirelessly
End to End Solutions (E2E)
Protocols vary for diverse vertical markets and geographical regions
Design flexibility and longevity is essential
Proprietary
Existing Requirements
Future Requirements
Optimized TCO and TTM is a requirement
Retrofit of legacy discrete solutions
New all-in-one solution
Diversity of assets to connect
Need to be easy to install/initialize/monitor/maintain
Install site access constraints
Skilled Labor / Union constraints
SDR

10. Why M2M in Transportation (Rail)
Driver
Result
Achieve Compliance
Rail Safety – Positive Train Control
(December 31, 2015)
Optimize Processes
Access to timely, valuable, actionable data for improved advanced decision making
Reduce Costs
Streamlined, secure, remote monitoring, maintenance, etc.
Create New Revenue Streams
Leveraging the technology investment for compliance to offer additional revenue-generating services
PTC – speed control, prevention of train to train collisions, prevention of train to something else collisions, derailment avoidance
Interoperability of communications systems pertains to boeht optimize process and reduce cost
New revenue stream examples: onboard passenger wireless, enhanced tracking portfolio offering for freight, etc.

11. What is PTC ? (Positive Train Control)
Mandate : United States President George Bush signed the railway safety bill into law on October 16, 2008 after the collision of a Metrolink passenger train and a Union Pacific freight train in Los Angeles, California, resulted in the deaths of 25 and injuries to more than The bill mandates the implementation of Positive Train Control (PTC).
Equipment : PTC involves three components
Equipment along the railroad track
Equipment on the locomotive
Equipment at the control center
Bi-directional wireless data link
Deadline : The United States Congress set a deadline of December 31, 2015 for the implementation of PTC technology.
Market Sizing : ITC, comprised of freight railroads, estimates the volume of radio will be in the order of 125K ~ 337K unit over next 5 years. $10-15B

13. Challenges for M2M in the Rail Transportation Space
Integration with legacy technology
Flexibility for future technology
Interoperability across market segment players
Infrastructure limitations
Interference generators
Certification
Addressing these challenges results in:
New standards
Enhanced certification types & processes
Technology advancements
The problem:
Network with diverse components (stationary, moving, legacy, new, etc.)
Require seamless data communication
Require interoperability various vendor HW and between Class I and passenger lines
In environment with extreme conditions: temperature, shock & vibration
In some areas there is wired networking and power. In other areas there is little to none
Investments for base stations for new radio & Wi-Fi to be optimized (time and financing)
Cellular as back up where other connectivity not possible
Implementation deadline (for PTC): 12/31/2015
Flexibility to extend solution beyond safety – data collection/ communication for supporting other business elements.

14. IEEE 802.15.4p Positive Train Control
Development of new baseline for wireless links between trains or locomotives and track infrastructure
Based on existing 300 million unit market for IEEE based products
Sensor, control, and information transfer applications for rail and rail transit
IEEE standard already in use for monitoring critical infrastructure
Press Release: LINK
Task Group Page: LINK

15. PTC Interoperability
Problem: No single defined standard for “interoperable PTC system”
Implementation of I-ETMS and use different radio frequencies used at different locations
Manual frequency changing
ITCS communicating with I-ETMS – 2x 220MHz radios installed at each wayside and interface with a common PTC via a network gateway or protocol converter at each wayside. 1 radio dedicated to each ITCS (Passenger) and I-ETMS (Freight)
Interoperability stops at the wayside
Doesn’t use the wireless of the onboard systems
Passenger rail implement I-ETMS (like Freight) and use same PTC sol’n as Freight
Buy 220MHz spectrum
An use separate channels
Passenger use ACSES (selected PTC protocol for NEC) with all transactions handled by a single back office with freight rail responsible for setting up I-ETMS infrastructure
Different frequencies are cross connected in the back office to support system-to-system communications

16. Achieving PTC Interoperability
Options for complying with FCC part 80, 90, and 95 and PTC Interoperability Part 236.
Lilee’s solution portfolio can support both.
Option #2 highly recommended
#1 Adopt the proprietary ITCM 220MHz wireless network
Pros:
Lilee TransAir PTC-3000 series of 220MHz SDR transceivers
Certified under US FCC type certification for operation under part 80, 90 and 95 rules in the MHz range – 1st of it’s kind
Can support standards-based and proprietary protocols
SW re-configuration to support additional protocols without the need for recertification
With Federated Interchange approach, OTA interoperability with ITC 220MHz radios is not required
Cons:
Meteorcomm has not released the full details of ITC Net to the industry
No commitments to the timeline for release
Complex and expensive – connection of waysides via fiber or non-220MHz method
#2 Back Office ITCM Federated Interchange implementation
Recommended cost-effective solution
Seamless interoperability
Transit and Class-I’s have full interoperability
Each railroad has own channel and/or multi-provider commercial cellular network

17. Interoperability via WSRS & Federated Interchange
Federated Links
(ITCM)
Dispatch
Systems
Back Office
Server
WSRS
Server
Federated Interchange
Other RRs
The WSRS-5000 serves as a translator for the PTC solution. It takes the appropriate information gathered and managed by the LMC-5500 from the onboard and track side systems from one rail entity and communicates it via the Federated Links to the other interested rail entity involved with the stretch of track where the train is currently or is about to be.
Mobility Controller
Office
Field
Base Station
Yard or Station Wi-Fi
15.4p
PTC
Similar to the roaming agreements that exist between cellular data carriers (Sprint roams on Verizon and vice verse, AT&T roams on T-Mobile and vice versa), the federated links are comparable to the roaming agreements. The Federated Interchange supported by the SW on the WSRS-5000 negotiates those T’s and C’s of the “roaming” (what info needs to be communicated how and to whom) of one rail entity’s vehicles on another’s track.

18. Achieving Industry’s First FCC Grant for 220MHz Software-Defined Radio (SDR)
Certified for operation under US FCC Part 80, 90 and 95 rules
Addresses FCC Q&A inquiries
SW configurable transceiver for standards-based & proprietary communications protocols = broad interoperability
SW modifications to the radio frequency & transmitter output characteristics without the necessity of FCC re-certification
Press Release: Link
White Paper: Coming Soon

19. What’s Next? How is it Achieved?
Expansion of the technology to complimentary applications
Extension of data gathered and processes optimized
Increased standardization
The Path to Get There:
Advanced technology from Wi-Fi companies
“Network Vision” approach by more carriers
Collaboration of ecosystem partners for end-to-end solution “blueprints” (HW & SW)
