Product idea

Opportunities• Leverage growing V2x infrastructure to provide

the following VAS:

• back-up broadband communication

channel for PS users

• free of charge not real time data offload

capability for smart city users

• Cooperate with chipset maker to sell the

solution to early adopters.

Threats• PS users like to use dedicated broadband PS

systems such as FirstNet and ESN

• LTE Proximity Services (LTE ProSe) actively

promoted to PS agencies by Qualcomm and

MNO’s.

VAS = Value Added Service

ESN = Emergency Services Network (UK HO project)

MNO = Mobile Network Operator

DTN = Disruption Tolerant Networking

Early

adopters

US, EU PS agencies, smart city users

Russia PS agencies, smart city users

Majority

customers

Smart city users Not real time data offload capability (*)

Customer needs

Develop OBU software stack which provides multi

hop data streaming and DTN data exchange

capabilities over V2x communication interface.

1st phase: cooperate with the chipset vendor to sell the

solution to early adopters

2nd phase: sell the solution to the chipset vendor.

Monetization strategy

* - additional information could be provided to explain why PS system providers (agencies) need

back-up broadband communication channel at the incident scene

US TAM estimation starting 2017

• Public Safety (PS) vehicle OBU’s: 290K (police, EMS, fire)

• Commercial fleet management OBU’s: 7M (5M in 2015)

• All vehicle OBUs: 270M (256M in 2013)

• Emergency management agencies: 3205.

EU has similar market potential.

TAM = Total Available Market OBU = On Board Unit

EMS = Emergency Medical Services V2x = Vehicle to x

Technical detailsWireless communication technologiesThere are wireless communication technologies suitable for V2x

communication:

• IEEE 802.11p

• LTE Proximity Services

Both technologies allow a sub 10ms latency and a mobility range of few

kilometers at delta speed up to 1000km/h. Both technologies use the

same signal modulation.

Vehicle crash preventionEmerging vehicle crash prevention systems utilize

IEEE 802.11p technology to constantly broadcast

vehicle positioning and status information. The same

technology can be used to organize data exchange

between vehicles and road infrastructure .

US roadmap is shown below. EU has similar roadmap.

Multi hop data streaming over V2xV2x technology could be used to enable multi hop data streaming for PS

users. This enables the below PS use cases:

• backup communication for PS users at the incident scene

• in route tactical communication.

Available software assetsThe team already developed market leading multi hop data streaming and not real time data offload solution for V2x systems. The team

already tested data streaming use case with IEEE 802.11p hardware and data offload use case with USDOT Research Data Exchange

(RDE) database.

* * - technical information could be provided upon request

Not real time data offload over V2xV2x technology could be used to enable free of charge not real time data

offload for PS agencies and other needs. This enables the below use cases

for smart cities:

• big volume (e.g. video feeds) data offload from special vehicles

• LBS, advertisement and other data upload to public buses

• ad hoc data exchange service for utilities, materials / goods supply and

other vehicles

• other data collection services for smart cities.

Project status and other informationProject statusCompleted tasks:

• multi hop data streaming and not real-time data offload software developed

• IEEE 802.11p hardware platforms evaluated

• Data offload software tested with USDOT RDE database.

LTE ProSe platform evaluation (back-up plan) is ongoing.

Expected project timelineMake prototype on target HW: Dec 2016

Make demo to end users: Jan 2017

Participate in a big scale pilot: Q2 2017

Sell the 1st commercial license: Q3 2017

Competitive differentiation• First 802.11p based data streaming solution in the world

• Not real time data offload capability for smart city users

• Advanced UAV cooperation capabilities.
