The problem
Development of a cheap, efficient M2M data-gathering solution
ZigBee requires a large number of costly base stations and the mesh network is unstable when many hops are employed
NWave solves this problem with our high-range, energy-efficient, low-cost, integrated narrow-band M2M platform
Executive Summary
• NWave ultra-narrow band communication technology – high range, and cost and power-efficient
• Full-cycle telecom platform ready for rapid deployment
• Integrated solutions - from automated meters, sensors, and base stations, to cloud-based user interfaces
The Technology – Competing approaches
GSM/3G – needs a permanent power connection, expensive installation and service
ZigBee/Bluetooth – insufficient range, high cost of multiple base stations
NWave: - Functions autonomously > 10 years - Range > 10 miles - Plug & Play, cheap installation

Real-life implementation – The problem
Meter readings taken in-situ by water company staff
Existing water-metering practice:
Meter readings communicated by phone
Invoices based on estimates recalculated later using actuals numbers
Automated meter readings by radio modem
The NWave approach:

Real-life implementation - Results
Significant reduction in personnel and man-hours
Consumers can monitor personal consumption through web interface
Automated invoice preparation
Early detection of leakages, fraud, excessive consumption
ZigBee vs. NWave - Cost Analysis
ZigBee Nwave Comments
CAPEX
Base stations 20k units at $2k = $40M
6 units at $2k = $12k
ZigBee range is < 100 meters. Mesh network is unreliable.
Sensor and modem
100k units at $30 = $3M
100k units at $30 = $3m
Essentially the same cost.
OPEX
Base stations 20k units at $500 = $10M
6 units at $500 = $3k
Total over 5 years
$93M $3M ZigBee is 30x more expensive
