M2M/IoT: An Explosion of Connected Devices
• By 2020: at least 20 Billion Internet connected devices worldwide
- 5G will have a profound effect on Internet of Things
• Call for new business models, put tremendous demand on telco
operators and create new opportunities for SatCom
- Terrestrial networks cover only 10% of the world
- Satellite can enable M2M/IoT applications to run on global scale
SatCom Key Advantages for M2M/IoT
• Wide/Ubiquitous coverage
• Lack of communication alternatives
• Multicast/broadcast capabilities
• High reliability
SatCom M2M/IoT Scenarios
SatCom Role in M2M/IoT
Terrestrial IoT local area network over satellite
broadband network
• Satellite terminal providing local area network (WLAN,
WPAN) connectivity to IoT sensors
- E.g., SCADA/M2M, Smart Energy, Smart Home, etc
Satellite backhauling of terrestrial IoT gateways
• Satellite terminal providing connectivity to IoT gateway
acting as local aggregator of IoT sensors
- E.g., LPWAN, SigFox, LoRa, etc
IoT sensors with direct satellite access link
• Direct access to satellite from low-cost low-size battery-
activated IoT sensors

SatCom M2M/IoT Challenges
Common to All Scenarios
Higher Layer Challenges
• Light-weight M2M/IoT application and transport layer protocols
• Simple network synchronization, low protocol overhead
• Integration of IoT, Cloud and Big Data
• Security
Lower Layer Challenges
• Small, low-cost, highly integrated hardware
• Small, low-cost Tx/Rx phased array antenna
• Low Tx power, high energy efficiency, low-duty cycle
• Random access-based air interfaces: small FWD link, efficient RTN link,
asynchronous, minimum re-transmissions
Key satellite M2M/IoT Game Changer are small low-cost terminals & competitive service fees.
Key Satellite M2M/IoT
Design Drivers:
• Minimize terminal CAPEX
• Minimize OPEX
• Flexibility and Scalability
• Robustness and Reliability
