Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, involving wide area communication of sensor data to an Internet based application, is emerging as an important paradigm in communications. With diminishing voice revenues, mobile network operators are increasingly relying on data services for revenue growth and M2M is a major area of focus within data services. Projections for number of M2M communication devices are around 12 Billion devices by the end of the decade with over 2 Billion M2M devices expected to directly attach to the mobile network by 2020. We will describe the current M2M market environment, emerging M2M solution architecture and various technology enhancements that will enable this phenomenal growth. We will also discuss ongoing standards activity in M2M and then summarize some of the main challenges that need to be addressed to realize the vision where everything is connected.

Agenda

Dr. Harish Viswanathan received his bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai, India, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the School of Electrical Engineering, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. Since joining Alcatel-Lucent, Bell Labs in October 1997 he has worked on multiple antenna technology for cellular wireless networks, network optimization, mesh networking, mobility management and optimization of video over mobile networks. He is currently CTO Advisor for M2M and Devices in the Corporate CTO organization within Bell Labs. His current responsibilities include identifying strategic directions that Alcatel-Lucent should pursue in the M2M and sensor networks areas and architecting end-to-end solutions for sensor related applications.
