Machine to Machine (M2M)

Machine 2 Machine (M2M) and connected devices are slated to be the key impetus behind the growth of mobile subscribers globally in the near future. Trends indicate that there will be increasing demand for mobile devices to be connected to their cars and TVs, utilities to be automatically metered and adjusted, automobile to sense other vehicles in the vicinity, healthcare updates and reminders to be shared automatically and directly between patients and professionals, etc. This brings a new set of challenges for the mobile service providers:

  1. Create new M2M applications for enterprises and consumers
  2. Develop interoperability and standards to be connected across different machines
  3. Process and analyze large volumes of data coming from billions of devices
  4. Maintain high security across applications and devices
  5. Generate a quick return on high initial cost of implementation
