• Technology War is Over
• Network Technology
• Analog vs TDMA vs CDMA vs CDPD
• GSM and CDMA left standing
• CDMA deemed to have footprint advantage in US
  (far from settled) and higher throughput
• GSM dominant worldwide with lower hardware costs
• Data Content
• Bursty vs streaming vs sporadic
• Real time vs. latency
• Text? Packet? Binary?
• Both networks support CS data, text messages and
  IP data

6

• Data Over Wide Area Wireless
• Circuit Switched Data
• Started by early adopters on analog wireless
  networks
• Emulates wireline M2M connection
• Digital networks aimed to improve throughput and
  reliability
• Text Message (SMS)
• Limited bandwidth
• Network control channels
• Prone to latency
• Packet Networks
• Internet Protocol
• Supports both low and high bandwidth
• Always On
• Future centers on IP networks

7

• Internet Connectivity
• Legacy IP Modems
• Modem as a pipe. IP stack resident on
  application processor
• Always on was very difficult to achieve to to
  network dependencies
• Required detailed knowledge of WAN protocols
  (e.g. dynamic IP)
• Modems Today
• Wireless modems contain the TCP/IP Stack
• Support Packet Assembler Disassembler (PAD) for
  legacy devices
• Network monitoring to insure always on.
• Seamless handling of dynamic IP.
• Various support of scripting languages,
  proprietary APIs or non real-time OS
• Support TCP and UDP API (local and remote)

8

• Where are We Headed?
• Modem Costs Mirror Phone Costs
• Phone manufacturers targeting low-end, 3rd
  world voice market
• Single chip radios basis of modem designs
• As markets mature, modems will move toward
  connectorless designs
• Convergence?
• GPS is a natural fit for M2M, even in non-mobile
  applications
• Moving toward an open programming architecture
• End-to-end, seamless architecture.
• Technology agnostic
• Early Adopters Giving Way to Maturing Market
• Mass deployments taking place today
• Too costly to risk inaction
• Networks maintaining backward compatibility
  (GPRS EDGE- UMTS HSDPA)

• Hardware Trends in our M2M space
• Distributed intelligence
• INTEG are pushing intelligence into our devices.
• Email Clients
• Logic for switching outputs based on input status
• Relay slaving from one device to another
• Custom programming, latching, alert response etc
• Task Manager
• Which tasks are should be on the device and which
  should be on the server?

18

• Hardware Trends in our M2M space
• Centrallized intelligence
• INTEG are also pushing intelligence into our
  software.
• Software service to continuously poll devices
• Longer term data storage (SQL)
• Easy reporting
• Which tasks are should be on the device and which
  should be on the server?

19

• Hardware Trends in our M2M space
• IO Requirements
• Digital Inputs Digital Outputs
• Analog Inputs Analog Outputs
• How Many?
• Speed?
• Serial Data
• Serial Control
• Any product requires a mix of these.

20

• Hardware Trends in our M2M space
• Future INTEG Development
• Distributed intelligence
• Devices will be faster with more memory to extend
  functionality.
• External memory USB Drives?
• IO requirements
• Fewer IO points and lower cost
• Daisy Chain capability for more IO points under
  1 IP address
