DESCRIPTION
The other radio technologies - why GSM/3G can be complementary and profitable when used with PMR systems. M2M covers a huge variety of applications and technologies. GSM-based M2M gets a lot of publicity these days as it is seen as the ubiquitous solution for large rollouts, but other radio technologies are often used in critical applications. There are multiple instances where GSM and PMR are bedfellows and largely it is only the PMR industry that has the sophistication and technical expertise to drive these applications. GSM carriers and app developers struggle to think outside of their own niche, whereas LMR system providers have always had to do a large chunk of their own engineering and development, often taking on the true partner role with their customers, developing on and with them in tandem. When used in applications that have some or all of these criteria, it is as many times essential as nice to have multiple technologies driving your comms: - where one mode does not provide the coverage that you need - where critical public or personal safety issues are involved - where multiple backup overlays are required because the data is very important and timely Applications designed for areas like: - mining - where GSM coverage is patchy at best and PMR is much more effective in a pit - environment - where delays and breakdowns can cost tens of thousands of dollars or more per hour, where remote-controlled machinery is becoming more common - personal safety - like lone worker devices - building and home security - where multiple network paths are now required to achieve the best security ratings and therefore the lowest insurance premiums - are ideally suited to dual- and multimode technologies The side benefit of these is that GSM/satellite as an add-on can provide an additional income stream to PMR suppliers as the network providers will pay ongoing revenue shares.

Cellular vs. Land Mobile
• Ubiquitous coverage
• Volume produc(on
• Global roaming
• Customer familiarity
• IP based at core
Ubiquitous Coverage
• GSM covers around 97% of popula(on (8% of land mass)
• 3G covers up to 98.5% of popula(on (over 15% of landmass)
• In-‐building coverage
Global roaming
Wireless networks are globally ubiquitous Today's market is a global one.
Build once deploy everywhere.
Volume ProducKon
• Value priced hardware + lots of manufacturers = Choice
• Constantly reducing hardware size
• Sophis(cated op(ons
IP Core • 2G is IP based speeds up to 80Kbps. CSD s(ll available in some cases.
• Networks are increasingly data focused. Built for purpose.
• 3G is IP based data comms at speeds up to 40Mbps
• LTE is all IP.
The Limits of Cellular
• Voice
• Immediacy
• Dedicated bandwidth
• Ongoing costs
• In plant
Satellite
• Truly Global Coverage
• IP or message based
• Smaller Antennae
• Hardware prices dropping
• Air(me fees leveling out and reasonable
What's in it for me?
• Ongoing income -‐ new revenue stream
• Pain relief
• Expansion of services offering
No Conflict
• Horses for courses
• 2 way works and works well where it is suited. Cellular is the same.
• Cellular is not a threat to your core business it is an extension to it.
• It's about data Comms, not voice.
