The Challenge of M2M Communications

! M2M Communications is not only about enabling the flow of data between machines and but also between people and machines ! Regardless of the type of machine or data, information usually flows in the same general way
from a machine to a network to another machine --or to a device or gateway where it can be reviewed & acted on.

! Key Network attributes include

Self organizing, self configuring, self healing, low cost, low energy consumption, based on open global standards

! This Network is the Internet of Things ! Applications span the gamut from automation to telecom and healthcare and everything in between

ZigBee Crosses the Chasm

Our research with more than 600 companies has found that the ZigBee market has "crossed the chasm" and is now a mainstream technology. This is further illustrated by several new ZigBee entrants such as BlueRadios, CEL, and SyChip (Murata), as well wireless sensor network pioneer Dust Networks. We have identified over 350 companies that offer, or are developing, products based on IEEE802.15.4 and ZigBee. These companies have combined annual revenues of more than $1 trillion. In fact, despite a challenging economy,15.4/ZigBee unit sales have increased at an average of 62% per year since 2007.

Growing Demand for ZigBee Smart Energy

! ZigBee Smart Energy is bridging the gap between the power grid today & the Smart Grid of tomorrow
Using ZigBee Smart Energy today can improve in building energy efficiency, comfort and convenience all at the same time even without a smartgrid or a smart meter Households with digital tools controlling temperature and price preferences saved on average 10% on utility bills

! 40+ million ZigBee electric meters being deployed by over 11 utility companies in the USA
Major deployments in California, Texas, Michigan & Virginia An additional 40 million meters (from utility RFPs) in the USA are in various stages of business case development and rate approval with local regulatory bodies
