IPv6 Motivations
• Why IPv6?– Rapid growth in networked devices throughout Asia
• Additional network address space, IP compatibility
– Selective demand in US & EU for IPv6 feature set• Zero configuration, network self configuration
• Why Helicomm?– Strong market presence in Asia
• Deploying one of world’s largest Wireless Home Control solutions with Haier
– Customers looking for integrated solutions (technology agnostic)• Modules, networking software, gateways (optional), tools
• View ZigBee & IPv6 as Complementary– ZigBee for system interoperability & large / complex hybrid
networks– IPv6 for IP back-office system compatibility & proprietary
applications

IPv6 Application Scenarios
• Home Control– ‘Wireless Lifestyle’ for integrated IP-based wireless solution (e.g,.
Haier)– Standalone products that do not require / can not afford ZigBee
gateway
• AMR– Primarily for Commercial & Industrial electric meter aggregation– Current customers use GPRS & paging network for WAN
• Security– IP-based video monitoring solutions commonplace (e.g., Sony)– IP-based wireless image capture / low rate video a natural fit
• Other– Access Control (leverage existing IP infrastructure)– Parking Meters (integrate with IP-based WWAN)
