COMARCH INTERNET OF THINGS LAB
23M USD Investment – ready on 1Q16
Comarch builds its own HW lab at Comarch
Located in the Comarch Village in Kraków
Low and medium volume capacity
Prototyping & Preproduction for CE
Small series to verify final product quality
Extensive QA for both SW and HW
Development of scalable, secure
and highly accessible building
blocks (HW & SW)
for the world of digital economy in order
to build the Internet of Things

M2M VS IOT– FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE
Focused on the communication
between machines and applications
using a network
Monitoring, controlling, or managing
certain machines
Acts automatically or on request
Smart home equipment, connected
cars, fitness gadgets, etc.
Broader concept
Exchange of information between not
only machines, but also social media
services, ERP applications, etc.
Focused on the information generated
by the ecosystem of multiple assets
and the usage of this information
M2M IoT
CONNECTIVITY PROTOCOLS LANDSCAPE
PAN (1)
WLAN (1000)LAN
TO SIM OR NOT TO SIM?
Non-SIM technologies
With long ranges but low bandwidth already cover 80% of
M2M and IoT needs.
Some operators and service providers already putting
their bets on alternatives:
LoRa:
Bouygues (France)
Orange (France)
KPN (Netherlands)
Proximus (Belgium and Luxemburg)
SKTelekom (Korea)
SIGFOX:
Securitas Direct (Spain)
Abertis Telecom (Spain)
IoT Denmark
T-Mobile (Czech)
Tele2 (Sweden)

SIM vs SIM-less
SIM SIM-less
PAN PROTOCOLS – OLD DOGS vs NEW WAVE
LONG RANGE PROTOCOLS
LTE-M will compete with SIGFOX and LoRa
LTE offer international roaming
Sigfox and LoRa do not support roaming
But:
LTE-M – not existing yet
SIGFOX and LoRa – ready to use
SIGFOX and LoRa units are much cheaper
Key requirement for biggest IoT projects:GLOBAL COVERAGE
Possibilities of development:
SIGFOX and LoRa will become “WiMAX of IoT”
Coexistence – per use case – local vs global projects
EFFICIENT DEVICES ARE KEY IOT ENABLER

OUR LORA LESSONS LEARNED
LoRa experience:
Generally long range, even without line of sight
Connectivity issues in urban environment when
there are multiple tall buildings on the way
We found a dead spot just behind the power
station, below a high capacity power line – note
that client packets were send to the gateway
(and accepted) but client was unable to receive
gateway ACK – so still one way possible (e.g.
sensor to central server)
Some communication scenarios require
rework, as star topology does not support node
to node communication
BT / BLE – Field Testing & Lessons Learned
BLE experience:
BLE is based on 2.4 GHz radio as
there are many other technologies.
While most technologies, including
BLE has built-in some means to
handle interference when in the
sample place - device designers
shall keep potential, occasional link
quality decrease in mind (lower data
transfer rate, connection loss or even
data corruption in extreme
conditions)
Be careful with dual-mode devices
(e.g most of smartphones). They
may switch from regular BT to BLE
with (Apple) or without (Android)
physical (MAC) address switch. This
behavior has to be addressed when
using MAC-based data.
IOT WILL BE HETEROGENOUS, COMBINATION OVER COMPETITION
