CEVA Dragonfly M2M Platforms Enabling fast and low risk SoC design of Machine to Machine multi-mode endpoints

2 CEVA Proprietary Information

M2M/IoT Communications Challenges Key Challenges

Existing Solutions

Flexibility Many standards, some still under development Specifications are not finalized and will require updates and remote upgrades in the field

Multi-mode Most use-cases require multiple functions to run concurrently

PHY & Protocol require a high performance processor with true RTOS to minimize latencies

Extreme low power: 10 years on 2 AA batt

Very low cost: < $5 / module

HW centric modems Can’t be upgraded to track standards evolution and country variants Can’t perform field updates

Multimode systems are heterogeneous Piecewise collection of independent modems

Sub-optimal area and cost

Longer Time to Market

Software Defined Modems (SDM) are required to address these challenges with low cost and low power solutions
