Telenor Connexion, the leading global provider of embedded connectivity solutions, today announced that the company has opened a new office in Tokyo, Japan to support a growing demand for M2M (machine-to-machine) and telematics solutions in the Asia/Pacific region.

The company has already established itself as a leading global M2M provider in the region working with a number of prominent Japanese customers and several automotive OEM’s.

- Japan is among the most mature M2M markets within the Asia/Pacific region. The opening of our office in Tokyo reinforces our long-term commitment to both Japan and the Asia/Pacific region as a whole. Telenor Connexion’s expansion in Asia allows us to further assist locally-based clients with regional and global market opportunities, says Thomas Strandin, VP of Sales APAC at Telenor Connexion.

The office, located in Roppongi Minato-ku, Tokyo, is managed by Ola Olsson, Country Manager for Japan and Korea. Mr. Olsson has more than 10 years of experience in various sales functions within the Telenor Group and at Vodafone. Mr. Olsson will work closely with customers and partners in Japan and Korea to strengthen existing relationships and identify new business opportunities.

- I am very excited about our local presence in Japan. My ambition is to supply a wide range of Asian customers with global M2M connectivity solutions – especially those requiring high performance for business and life critical applications. The opportunities in all vertical markets are growing and the Telenor Connexion team is ready to take on the challenge, says Ola Olsson, Country Manager for Japan and Korea at Telenor Connexion.

Telenor Connexion is constantly expanding its global market presence and has recently established an office in the US. The company already has offices in Sweden, UK, France and Switzerland.

Telenor Connexion is wholly owned by Telenor Group, which serve more than 60 million mobile subscribers in Asia.

With the new M2M quality program the company is raising the benchmark for end-to-end reliability and quality in M2M deployments.

Following the successful launch of a dedicated platform for global M2M and telematics deployments in 2009, Telenor Connexion is now further enhancing its offer by providing an extensive program to guide customers and partners when integrating connectivity solutions. Hence, ensuring reliability, security and cost efficiency.

Drawing from over 10 years experience, Telenor Connexion has formalized its knowledge into the new M2M quality program. Built around a series of workshops, lab simulations and knowledge transfer sessions the program contains five main packages, from initial requirement specifications and solutions design, through test and validation to operational processes and tools.

The program has proven to be a highly efficient way to secure a successful embedded connectivity launch, enabling a product and service that deliver higher quality and value to the end user. The key benefits are:

• Higher quality for the end-customer service
• Quicker time to market
• Less reiterations of the application design as faults can be corrected prior to release
• More robust and cost efficient designs
• Securing a sustainable business model and product development plan
• Ensuring compliance to GSMA fraud, signalling and security standards

Testing how customer terminals handle different types of networks is one part of the M2M Quality Program.

– The main advantage of testing our equipment in Telenor Connexion’s Mobile Network Simulation Lab was to be able to test different handover/roaming scenarios and different types of network situations over and over again. Something which is almost impossible to test in a live network, says Nils Nordin, Telecommunication responsible at Scania, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of trucks and buses for heavy transport applications.

– The usage and traffic behavior is very different from case to case, but it is critical that connectivity is integrated in the right way to secure full functionality and reliability over time. We help our customers deploy high-quality and sustainable connectivity solutions for their business and life critical applications, says Per Simonsen, CEO at Telenor Connexion.

Telenor Connexion sees an increased interest from different industries in embedding connectivity to machines, vehicles and devices.

In an energy-constrained world, what supply-chains will require?

What will be the next direction to take for telematics designers in Transport &Logistics (T&L) sector?

Recently, the sudden peak of oil price in summer 2008^iv has obviously contributed to trigger a greater adoption among T&L sector for telematics solutions enabling the “fuel consumption monitoring” and the success of new policy for improvement of driver education like “eco-driving”. Truck OEMs and Fleet management System vendors have developed a large portfolio of solutions for reducing the energy consumption. Car OEMs will propose more and more in new car models similar features. But that’s only one side of the problem. Key takeaways I would like to share here are based on analysis of the end customers from the T&L sector in conjunction with the feedback from company fleet managers.

Oil prices will very likely continue to increase and so will the use of alternative fuels, however neither is likely to revolutionize the T&L sector. If oil price volatility is a significant risk for the sector, one thing is really sure, supply chains will evolve in the direction of ensuring that cost of emissions is paid by the causer.  Whether or not, the one who designs telematics, see it as a business opportunity,  T&L providers and fleet managers will need to track, document and declare their CO2 emissions (the so-called “carbon footprint”) in the future and thereafter, other types of emissions such as Nitrogen Oxyde, noise, etc. On every company level, the monitoring of carbon footprint will require introduction of “mobility account” for employees which implies a mileage reporting solution for the entire fleet.  In parallel of mobility accounts, “CO2 tickers^v” would have to be calculated in order to document all carbon emissions caused during the production and transport of manufactured goods. CO2 tickers could become standard for all consumer products since the overall objective is to influence consumer behavior. Companies having seized this opportunity early enough will gain a competitive advantage and have a significant marketing and PR value (on the opposite of the green washing).

Another key trend in supply chains is the need of continuous real-time control of the flows of goods.  Such systems bring benefits to supply-chains in terms of greater visibility and better flexibility, preventing the risks of external disturbances. For example, telematics can help in detection of unplanned stops and delayed deliveries. Another key service offered by telematics provided by truck OEMs is remote diagnostics enabling a greater uptime and means for preventive maintenance. In the rail sector, GPS localization of shuttle trains and single wagons are critical information for insuring good timing in deliveries. In addition, telematics can help for insuring security of high value goods transported with adapted sensors. The value of such services is automatically increased with the oil price risk.

In conclusion, to coping with a low-carbon world requires tackling new challenges. The Transport and Logistics providers and the fleet managers would have a greater interest in adopting telematics solutions giving a good bundle of benefits including not only the immediate savings with fuel monitoring but as well the facility to track and document all emissions, plus capacity of real-time monitoring.

ii Some cities have adopted congestion schemes like Singapore, London and Stockholm. Many countries have road charging systems, but only few have the capacity to create a toll system based on level of emissions: the Toll Collect in Germany since 2005, Slovakpass since 2010 and the future Eco-taxe in France to be launched in 2012.

iii France has recently adopted in 2010 a law ”Grenelle de l’environnement II”, requiring all  companies of more than 500 employees in France to declare annually and progressively from January 2011 their carbon footprint and CO2 ticker for manufactured goods.

iv On July 11, 2008, oil barrel price rose to a new record of $147.27. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_of_petroleum

v CO2 ticker is the idea of putting a label identifying the emissions caused during the production and transport. Initial examples are already in place. For CO2 ticker, the challenge is to agree on a future industry-standard. For transport sector, Association of European Vehicle Logistics (ECG) is working on development of a common carbon calculator. http://www.eurocartrans.org/

So far so good, but in the case of M2M these modems are then built into products (e.g electricity meters, vehicles, credit card terminals etc), so additional hardware and software is added to make a complete product. On top of that some sort of central system or service application is normally needed to retrieve, handle and store data from the products.

Because of the additional complexity in a M2M applications potential problems can occur.  Below are a few examples:

- The modem is type approved, but not the complete product including system software with complete functionality – problems are discovered too late after commercial launch begins
- We did some field testing with 10-20 units and everything worked fine, but when our solution grew to thousands of units we did not understand what was needed for them to  co-exist and behave in a controlled manner in the mobile networks

In order to avoid unpredicted cost (re-visits of already deployed products or re-calling of products) it is imperative to test and validate key traffic and signaling behaviour in a test lab environment where different mobile networks can be simulated in a controlled manner, thereby allowing test situations that are hard or impossible to simulate in real life.

Customer products can be tested to dig deeper and determine things like:

• At what received signal strength does the product loose connection to the network?
• If connection to the mobile data network (GPRS) is temporarily lost, does the product re-connect as it should?
• Do handovers between cell sites or networks work correctly without lost service or data?
• How much data is used for a unique transaction, how much data is consumed for overhead signaling in a specific scenario?
• Does the connected unit handle network error codes in a correct manner?

These are just some examples of things not so easy (or even impossible) to test when connected to a live network. Tests like these have proven to be successful when developing and securing end to end communication functionality as well as and choice of aerial/antenna for optimized and cost-effective installation and operation.

Telenor Connexion encourages all our partners and customers to spend a couple of days performing tests like these in our test environment. After all, a couple of days of testing is a small effort compared to a scenario of having to re-call a multitude of deployed products.

Range anxiety is a condition that often afflicts people while at the helm of an electric vehicle. Anxiety escalates as the driver grows increasingly uncertain as to whether the battery-powered car will make it from point A to point B.

- “Drivers of electric cars know that they cannot simply re-fuel at any given time. They must re-charge, which requires planning,” explained Per Lindberg, Global Business Development Executive, Telenor Connexion. – “A good communications solution is necessary in order to plan your driving. You will not find an electric car without a telematics solution – that’s where we come in.”

Battery life of an electric car is dependent on a number of factors, including traffic conditions and even the weather. This makes it critical that the driver is able to communicate with the outside world and accurately calculate just how far his battery can take him.

Telenor in ideal position to deliver solutions
Telenor Connexion has a history of delivering telematics solutions to vehicles, in addition to experience working with the electric utilities companies in creating automated meter reading solutions. This puts the company in an ideal position when combining automotive telematics and electric utilities support for the electric car industry.

- “Telenor will deliver the communication. We have a network of companies that we will work with, including the electric utility companies, so it is possible to take on the role of mediator,” said Lindberg. – “The utility companies are now looking into how electric cars will affect their business, what they need to do and what their position will be, and we’re helping them along the way.”

New challenges for the electric utility companies
Electric vehicles present new challenges for the utility companies. For example, a driver of an electric car may drive to a friend’s house for dinner and wish to charge his vehicle during his stay. The problem arises when the driver’s electricity usage to re-charge his car shows up on his friend’s monthly power bill. To solve this dilemma the power company needs to be alerted that this electricity is for the car, not the friend, and that the driver of the vehicle should be charged instead.

- “The industry is developing ways of identifying whether electricity is used by the vehicle or the household, which results in a completely new business model for the utility companies,” said Lindberg. – “From a Telenor perspective it doesn’t differ much whether it’s an electricity meter or a car that wants to send data via our network, it’s the data that we transmit in both cases. Where it gets interesting is when we start thinking about the electric vehicle communicating to the electric grid.

Electric cars challenge the current methods of distributing electricity.
There are still a number of questions remaining when it comes to the infrastructure and distribution of electricity to meet the new needs of electric cars. For example, who will own the charging stations? When parking downtown, will parking and battery charging be billed together? And when you charge your car, can you select the company from which you will purchase your power?

According to Göran Brandt, Vice President of Business Development at Telenor Connexion, flexibility is the key to the successful spread of electric cars. “At the end of the day, it’s all about retrieving the necessary information, such as location, consumption, preferred method of payment, etc. There will most likely not be a single solution working in all countries and places. Flexibility and long-term consistency are essential.”

Electric cars drive telematics growth
Telenor has identified telematics as one of its key growth areas. Since telematics will be a standard feature in all electric cars, this industry will serve as one of the main drivers of this growth.

- “I think we will see a very quick rollout of electric cars, as there is a lot of political pressure on getting these vehicles to the market and many government subsidies are now being offered to encourage uptake,” said Lindberg. – “We are excited to support the spread of electric cars, and we will do our best to help alleviate all unnecessary range anxiety for consumers.”
