SERVICE CHARACTERIZATION
Connection Direct (SIM, USB, Ethernet) or via GW (NFC, Bluetooth, Zigbee, …)
Bandwidth Narrowband (e.g. smart thermostat) or broadband (e.g. car video)
Network Fixed or mobile “backhaul”
Data model Open (accessible via API) or private (assessible via app/system)
Solution Plug’n’play or integrated solution
Identity Registered or anonymous objects
Intelligence Network, object or app based
Biz model Horizontal (platform with APIs) or vertical (Pt-2-Pt app)
Device 1 function module or N sensors “orchestrated by device”
Scale Number of similar devices in teh “swarm”

NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS
Anticipate massive growth in devices,
applications and M2M traffic
Optimize 2G/3G/4G and fixed networks for
huge loads of small messages
Provisioning, control, management
and billing of devices and apps
Devices, data formats, protocols, standards,
vendors, etc.
Authentication, authorization and
data protection
SCALABILITY
PERFORMANCE
MANAGEABILITY
INTEROPERABILITY
