M2M & Transportation

www.lileesystems.com
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)7
www.lileesystems.com8
www.lileesystems.com
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

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 135. 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

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
13
Addressing these challenges results in:• New standards• Enhanced certification types & processes• Technology advancements

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 802.15.4 based products Sensor, control, and information transfer
applications for rail and rail transit IEEE 802.15.4 standard already in use for
monitoring critical infrastructure

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

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 216-
222MHz 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

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. See slide notes for additional details.

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

What’s Next? How is it Achieved? Expansion of the technology to complimentary
applications Extension of data gathered and processes
optimized Increased standardization
19
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)
