IOT KEY ELEMENTS IoT : fast growing market comparable to mobile market CELLPHONES WILL BE A SMALL PART OF THE IOT TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION 30b REVOLUTION 10b ACCELERATION 1,2b 6,5b 2015 2020 Huge diversity of applications supported by wide variety of wireless devices Most of the applications require simple devices
IOT KEY ELEMENTS On going country deployment Luxembourg Ireland Czech Rep Denmark Mauritius New Zealand Oman Brazil USA Italy Germany Belgium United Kingdom Australia Launched country France Spain Netherlands Portugal Italy Sigfox deployment map Large countries require big number of base stations for global services Difficult to deploy a full coverage network in short time Many applications are not real time but need long range connectivity and autonomy devices: electricity, water, gaz metering environmental monitoring low criticity alarm, maintenance
AIS KEY ELEMENTS AIS is a VHF anticollision system to track vessels with coastal stations & satellites AIS system : 2000 coastal ground stations 3 satellite networks (Exact Earth, Orbcomm, Spire) New regulations on small boats increase the potential to more than 1M vessels worldwide
AIS KEY ELEMENTS Aircraft traffic Maritime shipping routes Shipping and aircraft routes are very close Weak percentage of coasts covered by base stations AIS & S-AIS
AIS KEY ELEMENTS Ship detection comparison between aircraft and satellite Ships detected during Nimes Lorient flight 992 ships detected by aircraft 26 ships detected by satellites on aircraft area Many high density shipping areas not covered by coastal stations Ships detected by 8 satellites passes Global shipping density
AIS KEY ELEMENTS Example of Mediterranean sea coverage with aircrafts
ARGOS KEY ELEMENTS Satellite system with 20.000 active beacons Dedicated to the study and protection of the environment Deployment based on international cooperation (USA, India, Europe) 6 instruments in orbit Average revisite time: 1H Argos is operated by CLS company
ARGOS KEY ELEMENTS Continental and coastal applications : Very good coverage with frequent flights over USA, Europ and east of Asia Good coverage with regular flight (day and night) over South and North America, Africa, Russia Aircraft traffic Argos beacon deployment map Oceanic applications : Only few corridors covered ( North Atlantic and Argos applications % of beacons covered Pacific, North East Indian Ocean) MARINE AND LAND ANIMALS TRACKING 95% OCEANOGRAPHY 68% TERRESTRIAL APPLICATIONS 83% VESSELS MONITORING AND MARITIME SECURITY 92%
