M2M and the Internet of Things: Where Machines Talk9-10 October 2008 - European TelematicsFactory Berlin - GermanySpeakersHarald Naumann
Technical Director Speaker presentationHarald Naumann, Technical Director with Round Solutions since 2003 – a pioneer in sales, support and development of GSM/GPS applications, dedicated to two-way radio communication since 1987 with focus on wireless data communication. He comes all the way from Motorola as Service Manager for GSM mobiles and Sales Manager with FALCOM for GSM modules – Naumann was Project Leader and/or Project Member in various teams for wireless based products in telemedicine, GSM locating w/o GPS or GSM/GPS based tracking devices. His service to industrial users: products and services for electronic components with most economic concepts and fastest time to market products. Designing of mobile devices like playing with toys We will guide you through the 7 most important questions on how to design your mobile devices: Are these toys game cubes or is it a puzzle? Where to buy my toys (broadline distributor, specialised distributor or wireless solution supplier)? How many parts do I get with my box of toys? Which parts in the box are most critical? Which operating system to choose? How to get the most economic concept? How to speed up time to market and advertise the final product? Why are some mobile devices more successful than others? Step by step we will explain how to come to an own mobile device like a people tracker, asset tracker, point of sale terminal or a PDA with embedded antennas and embedded antennas based on the success of products that have already been launched to the worldwide market. There is no need to re-invent the wheel!

M2M and the Internet of Things: technologies, trends and current implementations in Italy and Europe The availability of wireless connectivity with increasing density and bandwidth paves the way to the implementation of the so-called “Internet of Things”, a new world where the generation of information and its use is not any more an exclusive domain of people. Objects connected to the Internet can talk to each other, or can just generate and transmit data, a constantly increasing amount of information which needs complex processing and data mining actions in order to be easily understood. The Internet of Things is the result of technological advances in several sectors such as electronics miniaturization, low power design, efficient communication protocols, and standards availability. A state-of-the-art of this complex scenario will be described, and the current situation in Italy and Europe will be presented, supported by practical examples to provide a better understanding of this fascinating “new age” of the largest network of the planet.

Short Abstract of presentation: Key Learnings from large-scale M2M deployments - Challenges in integrating M2M connectivity into machines - M2M Evolution phases - and increasing demands - Key adaptations of Mobile Operator offerings / Setup - Key Business rationales for M2M connectivity Rafael MorilloRafael Morillo is co-founder of AMPLIA and OpenGate with experience of more
than 10 years in software engineering related to wireless technologies.
Rafael has been pioneer in Spain in M2M solutions, working as Business
Development Manager in AMPLIA since 2002, doing projects, among others, for
the main Mobile Operators in Spain, Police and public administration.
Speaking abstract:
AMR as the M2M killer application in Europe. OpenGate solves it.
Given the energy regulations in the UE, AMR solutions must be ready to be
deployed in the near future. The challenge is to find a low cost solution,
because it's cost is to be multiplied by millions, and reliable, because it
must work for more than 15 years. Too many available technologies and too
many installation cases, makes it difficult to bring up the optimal
solution.

Key differentiators between the North American
and European markets
In the race to lead the global M2M (machine-to-machine) market, Europe has
emerged as the clear front runner in M2M adoption. However, many industry
observers agree North America is slowly, but surely, making headway and
cutting into Europe's lead.
In this session, Peggy Smedley, editorial director of M2M magazine, examines
the key differentiators between the North American and European markets -
what has led to slower uptake of M2M technologies in the North American (and
in the U.S. in particular) and what developments could help bolster the
region's growth. Smedley also takes a closer look at what M2M magazine has
coined the Six Pillars of M2M and explores how these areas are shaping rapid
adoption across the globe.

Elegate is using different techniques to enable your mobile to speak with other machines and systems. This M2M-communuication is the key for location based services beyond telecommunication. Paul Green, Vianet M2M GroupPaul has devoted the past 15 years to the introduction of innovative applications of technology to address age-old problems. This has often involved mobile and fixed telecommunications and, more recently, integrating mobile communication services to provide connectivity services for remote management and monitoring of machines and equipment (M2M). Paul has worked with large corporations such as: STC, GEC, GPT, Siemens, on projects for network operators, and has built close relations with industry-leading organisations. Much of his work at Vianet involves developing new markets and identifying solutions that enable companies to make a step-change in the way they do business. Data Hungry M2M Data hungry M2M applications are not common, but Vianet has lots of experience in the enablement of facilities that require high volume GPRS and 3G connectivity. Paul Green will describe how several companies and organisations have utilised these services for a number of completely different purposes and how, as a result, they have gained significant business benefits. We also examine the challenges involved in providing such services so that they are both straightforward for the customer to implement and give confidence that they can be relied upon for business critical applications.
