But what a Machine to Machine (M2M) technology is? Well, as the name suggests, it’s a smart communication (integrated network) in-between the various machines, where different mechanical devices do establishes a communication and than starts an exchange of information,
According to the Wikipedia:
"...Machine to Machine (M2M) refers to technologies that allow both wireless and wired systems to communicate with other devices of the same ability, This is accomplished through the use of telemetry, which is the language machines use when in communication with each other..."
Using the M2M platforms any business could monitor & manage the remote machines or equipments and this is always a need of any biz operations to run it smoothly and for its enhanced productivity,
In Machine to Machine (M2M) technology there is one central / mother system, which relates or connects to the various other systems located at other or remote locations, which may be near or far to the central system, central system sends the data to various remote systems to process it, that is why M2M could be used for production enhancement across the world if one has the offices in various locations,
Thus M2M or machine to machine technology helps in increasing the revenue generation to the cellular carriers and others too or rather creates fresh streams of revenues for the businesses,
Robotics and other technological advancements / innovations helps a lot in increasing the telemetry of M2M as it makes it possible to control, monitor and process data processing,
Origin of the M2M communications tech started approx in the year 2000, or may be some earlier, its rather an evolution of the technology, when cellular technology first was trying to learn how to get in communications / connected directly with other computer systems!
The most recent advancement in the M2M tech could be traced in February 2010, when the Vodafone, Verizon Wireless and nPhase pronounced an alliance for providing a global M2M solutions for their customers which promises the customers a smooth start-up of Machine to Machine or M2M solutions in Europe and in the USA,
M2M Apps:
A good use of M2M technology could be find while dealing with the smart cellular phones and wireless networks, as when the wireless networks are interconnected the increase in productivity, ease of access, revenue generation etc could be guaranteed, also wireless tech could be used to monitoring the systems with M2M like utility smart meters, so this will help in stopping the fraud,
Open M2M Protocols are:
-BITXML
-M2MXML
