�Key technology differentiator is the data transfer speeds and coverage area.
�3G access technology like HSPA (GSM) or EVDO (CDMA) has a much higher bandwidth then 2G access technologies like GPRS (GSM) or 1xRTT (CDMA).

CDMA vs. GSM Differences• Incremental Development over GSM
• Common Module footprints from many OEMs
• Similar AT Command Set
• Similar behavior on network
• 30-60 days of development + Approval
• Shorter, Simpler Approvals Cycle = Faster time to market +
Lower Cost
• Typical CDMA Approvals = 4-8 weeks (vs. 8+ weeks on GSM)
• CDMA Cost: Approx. $15K (1xRTT) vs. $20K (GSM)
• Easier Device Deployment
• Over-the-Air Service Provisioning vs. SIM Programming
• Simple Device Log-on vs. APN
• No SIM = No Environmental or Vibration issues
• SMTP vs. SMPP Bind
• Technology ‘Shelf Life’ + Migration to LTE
• 7-10+ Years
CDMA drives time-to-market down and
makes deployment much more simple

CDMA Differences (Cont.)
• IP/Data Optimized Network• Better in-building and rural coverage – Increased coverage
• Optimized data rounding (1KB/Month vs. 1KB/Session on
GSM)
• Greater session persistency/‘Always on’ – Preferred
operation w/ 24 hr idle timer (vs. 4 hr. Idle timer on GSM)
• Mobile IP with Permanent Roaming – Consistent IP
addressing + Fixed applications in roaming areas
• Enhanced cell tower hand-off – Fewer dropped sessions
• High Speed, Low Latency – Improved data performance
• CDMA alone drives Solution optimization
benefits…and deploying CDMA in addition to
GSM further drives:
• Increased Addressable Market• Ability to embrace End User Preferences
• Greater coverage options
Both fixed and mobile applications will benefit from CDMA IP/Data optimizationSource: KORE Telematics
Historically M2M=2G
• Coverage and service level consistency has
been more important than bandwidth
• 2G modules 1/3 the cost of 3G modules
• AT&T in particular is encouraging many of
their customers to use 3G for new M2M
projects
What Happened to EDGE?
• The recent rapid move towards 3G has
potentially dealt EDGE a fatal blow
• Performance/value ratio never served any
application well
3G Benefit to Carriers
• Better spectral efficiency
• Support high bandwidth applications
• Longer voice talk time
• Mapping of all services onto HSPA
• Faster call set up time/lower latency
• Smooth migration to LTE
Source: Nokia Siemens
Carrier 3G/4G Strategies
• AT&T
• Continue with HSPA+ deployments; begin LTE deployment 2H 2011.
• Verizon
• Available in 38 markets and over 60 major airports, and will cover nationwide 3G footprint with 4G LTE by the end of 2013.
• T-Mobile
• 200M POPs of HSPA+ 21; moving to HSPA+ 42
• Sprint
• Using Clearwire’s WiMax network
What is the Impact on M2M Developers?
• Developers will need to make trade-offs in the
short term on connectivity choices
• 3G devices require more power
• 3G modules are bigger in size
• 3G modules are more expensive
What’s the status of the 2G network?
• T-Mobile: Has indicated it will be available
beyond 2020
• Verizon & Sprint: 1xRTT being used to support
voice in 3G
• AT&T: Has not formally announced plans, but
certain applications will require 3G, especially
consumer products
3G/4G Forecast
• Second generation 3G modules will drive
down costs in 2011
• 4G modules for M2M will become feasible in
2013
• 3G device costs won’t achieve parity with 2G
devices for a number of years
• There will be carriers that support 2G for a
long time to come
� LTE is considered a 4G technology with speeds beyond 100Mbit/s
� Verizon & AT&T are leading the way towards LTE
� Initial LTE focus will be on data-only devices like notebook computers. No initial plans for voice support over LTE
29
�It will take Verizon & AT&T next 5 years to roll out LTE into all markets to get comparable network coverage to 2G or 3G
�AT&T stills needs 2-3 more years to
complete roll out of their 3G HSPA
network
LTE
Embedded SIM
• Existing SIM cards have proven reliability
issues in harsh environments
• Solderable SIM package in early
adoption phase
• Must be acquired directly from carrier
• Recommend placement next to module
for flexibility
eSIM Update
• GSMA Embedded SIM Task Force is finalizing
requirements & use cases
• GSMA will work with ETSI to define a solution for
eSIM in late 2011/2012
• MULTI-IMSI: SIM configured for a set of 2-3 MNOs or
for a region, and activated only on the field

MNO Certification
GE864-QUAD V2
GC864-QUAD V2• Telit endeavors to certify its product with major MNOs worldwide, especially on those having dedicated m2m areas. This effort is part of Telit’s commitment to quality
• The sample of MNOs here represents Telit’s engagement where module(s) have been certified or where Telit has performed voluntary field testing

Do I use a module?
• What is your expected annual volume?
• Is it over 3,000 units per year?
• What is your time to market?
• Do you have 12-18 months for a module design?
• What is the size of your budget?
• Do you have $200K+ for R&D?
• Do you have $25K+ for certification?
Alternatives to modules?
• Finished product
• Any certified end product
• Terminal/Plug in modem
• Ex. Janus Remote Communications
• Pre-certified Reference Design
• Ex. Device Solutions

Design Challenges
�Design complexity – cellular is more complex than other wireless technologies, like WiFi and Bluetooth, technically and commercially.
�Hardware design – must include an antenna system that meets the minimum performance requirements
�Certification levels – industry, regulatory, and carrier
�Carrier contracts – monthly cellular charges
�Data requirements – what are the per month needs, what will the business plan allow
�Management – how to use the cellular network, how to setup a backend sever to manage the data and make business decisions
HEADLINESUB-HEADLINE
The Right Technology
� Consider more than just the technical difference between 2G and 3G
� Cost of the technology – a 3G module might cost 2-3 times more then a 3G module
� Bandwidth/ performance requirements – 3G will have higher bandwidth than 2G
� Cost to operation – cellular carriers may charge more for 3G monthly rate plans compared to 2G rate plans (you will use more data)
� What does you business case allow?
� Are you a low cost, low data volume application like a vehicle tracking application?
� Are you a high bandwidth high cost application that requires streaming video?
HEADLINESUB-HEADLINE
Certifications for M2M
�Certification is often under-estimated by first-time adaptors of cellular technology
�Two levels of certification: module level and end product
�Each technology has different certification requirements for the modules and end products.
�End application certification typically costs about $25,000

M2M Product Design Cycle
Importance of Antennas
• Top risk area and prevents many designs from ever getting to market
• Some carriers have antenna performance requirements
• Unlike other wireless technologies (WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee)
• Internal vs External
• Internal design typically requires custom design and customer must be ready to spend $50-100K+ for a custom internal antenna design
Importance of Pre-Test
• Provide feedback on design
• Is design certifiable or are changes required
• Can design move forward or is new strategy required
• Minor investment to “get answers to the test”
• Helps customer become comfortable with the required testing for a cellular design
• RSE – radiated spurious emissions
• OTA – over the air performance (antenna testing)
Certification (GSM vs CDMA)
• GSM – Industry based
certification
• Valid FCC ID
• PTCRB ($)
• Operator (no cost)
• CDMA – Operator
based certification
• Valid FCC ID
• Operator ($)

Working With Module Vendor
�Key questions like:
�Where will you deploy product?
�What carrier/operator will you use?
� Is an internal or external antenna required?
�Will there be any co-located transmitters?
�Will the device be used next to the human body?
�What type of power supply or battery will you use?
�Can provide free schematic and Gerber files design reviews.
�Help setup pre-certification testing strategy
�Who will be doing the design (in-house vs. outsourced)?
�How many units will I be building?
�What are my power and size requirements?
�What is my manufacturing BOM cost target?
�What is my time-to-market requirements?
�Will the device be used next to the human body?
�What carrier/operator will you use?
�What are my bandwidth requirements?
�What geographies will the application be deployed?
