Beyond resources, technology innovation will be key to Australia's future prosperity. CSIRO is well-positioned to enable this through its expertise in areas like information sciences, with over 6,500 staff working across 57 locations. The National Broadband Network creates opportunities for innovative new services in sectors like financial services, agriculture, health, and environmental monitoring through technologies like wireless sensor networks. These kinds of innovations can help diversify Australia's economy beyond resources.

- 2. Your CSIRO Australia’s national science agency One of the largest & most diverse in the world 6500+ staff over 57 locations Ranked in top 1% in 15 research fields 170 spin-off companies (20 in last 6 years) 4,000+ Patent portfolio of CSIRO innovation Building national prosperity and wellbeing
- 3. The future – driven by what sector? Australia is well positioned in the global economy 2015 Australian current account balance of payments, 1988-2008
- 4. What are we talking about? • Simply put, ‘services’ are… “Anything you can’t drop on your foot”, or “Anything you can’t put in a box and ship”, or - John Harvey, IBM “People doing something for other people for value” - Ravi Namane, UCalif Berkeley
- 5. Breakdown of the 80% of Services economy Services gross value added = Knowledge Intensive Services *Services gross value added, i.e. the difference between the value of goods and services produced and the cost of raw materials and other inputs which are used up in production. Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2006

- 7. Enabling the Services Economy National Broadband Network for Australia • NBN will connect: • 93% homes, schools and workplaces with fibre to the premises (FTTP) • 100 megabits per second (Mbps) • Remaining 7% with wireless and satellite technologies • 12 Mbp (1-3 Mbp Uplink) $36b Infrastructure roll-out over 5 – 8 years. Creates the opportunity to Innovate
- 8. What are we doing? Broadband Innovation Ensure everyone gets symmetric access Change the way Enable services for people can interact broadband with the technology The true potential of the NBN is in providing access to high speed, reliable communications to all Australians. Symmetric data rates means users can contribute to significant content creation.
- 9. Financial Services Innovation TransferWise - the Skype of currency exchange • TransferWise gives all customers access to the mid-market exchange rates that banks use on interbank market, with a flat fee of £1 for each transaction regardless of the amount being exchanged. • Matching those that need to convert money each way – peer to peer. • A disruptive business model to Bank Forex
- 10. Broadband Innovation Whatsapp - SMS Game Changer WhatsApp is a cross-platform mobile short messaging app which allows you to exchange messages without paying for SMS. WhatsApp uses the same internet data plan that you use for email and web browsing. After registering your phone number Whatsapp automatically discovers other contacts in your phone. A disruptive technology to Telco – SMS revenue (like international call revenue) will become seriously compromised.
- 11. National Broadband: The health care challenge Health expenditure in excess of $110 billion, accounts for over 9% of Australia’s GDP New cost-effective services must be developed to meet the needs of the health system, the hospital, the doctor and the patient
- 12. Innovative health services Virtual Critical Care Unit (ViCCU) ViCCU proven in clinical trials to be effective with over 501 patients treated over 18 months. NBN ready – Bandwidth 70 megabits per sec required. Nepean Hospital Gbit link using Katoomba State Rail fibre Hospital 150 km
- 13. NBN – A new National Challenge – Wireless Broadband Technologies • Bringing high-speed broadband internet access of 100Mbps to rural and remote areas of Australia.
- 14. NBN Challenge CSIRO – Rural Broadband access @ 100 Mbps • CSIRO patented technologies • Re-use existing broadcasting infrastructure • Beamform signals to individual households • Requires reallocation of 56Mhz VHF/UHF analog TV spectrum • Research underway – technology is undergoing field trials with NBN • Tailored solution suitable ONLY for rural, remote and regional access 50-100 km
- 15. BIG Data Source – Sensor Networks
- 16. Interfaces CPU Antenna Radio Power CSIRO platform: Fleck
- 17. Sensor networks: Fleck Sensor boards • Light, temperature • Water quality: pH, temp, conductivity • Soil moisture • Motion: GPS, acceleration, gyro, magnetometer • Strain gauges • DSP: audio, video

- 27. Paradigm shift in water quality monitoring • 1 sample / day (week) • Labour intensive • Weather dependant • Bad temporal resolution • 1 sample every 2 hours • High cost • Bad spatial resolution • 1 sample / minute • Low cost • Robust (redundancy) • High spatial resolution • High temporal resolution
- 28. Improved water services Using water quality measurements • Closing the loop between modeling and real world observation • Calibrating water quality models • Enabling real time event detection and decision making Source: Seqwater

- 35. Information Value Chain Reporting and Visualisation Systems Standards & Access End Focus on the provision of a system of web- Industry based reporting tools to suit different end-users Focus on the Users development and promulgation of interoperability standards and inter- Modelling and Forecasting Systems agency agreements for sharing data Service Focus on the implementation of accounting and forecasting tools linked to interoperable data Providers sources Ability to link data and models and report results via a common web Data Integration interface Standard Focus on the interoperability of existing data Setters sets pertinent to natural resources management Cross-jurisdictional agreements on data sharing, security and access protocols Sensorisation Program Focus on improving natural resource monitoring Standards for Agencies provenance, Government accountability and auditability
- 36. Summary of Opportunities & Issues Opportunities • NBN to drive innovation in Service-driven applications World • Data-driven World with Scale and Complexity • Location-aware Things Issues • No enterprise or entity can own the whole information value chain • Governments are cooperating on collection and access to data, creating room for industry-led services innovation • Data access and ownership, including provenance and audit-ability • Standardised service interfaces, otherwise every product is bespoke with unmanageable maintenance overhead • Creates high dependencies on information service platforms for currency and reliability (otherwise lots of re-engineering)
