M2M Applications

As decades-old technologies, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cellular are well established, but they were not designed to allow long-range communications at a low bit rate among things such as sensors powered by a battery.

Machina Research, a provider of strategic market intelligence on the Internet of Things (IoT), is reportedly extending the coverage of its forecasts to include almost the entirety of the Internet of Things revenue opportunity. It predicts this will rise from US$892 billion in 2015 to US$4 trillion in 2025.

If there is any technology that will radically influence industrial automation systems and manufacturing facilities, it is the Internet of Things (IoT). This has been understood by all highly industrialised countries in the world who want to improve competitiveness by using IoT technologies, including big data and analytics to take their industrial processes to the

Event date: June 17, 2015 Paris, France The Sierra Wireless Innovation Summit is first and foremost a platform for exchange between the technical developer community and the Internet of Things (IoT) business and marketing community.

Rajant Corporation, has announced that it is launching a channel partner programme to grow its customer base worldwide.

Swiss-based u‑blox, has announces the LISA-C210 CDMA450 1xRTT voice/data module. It is ideally suited to M2M applications, and in particular Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) and smart power grid applications. Approval is in progress with selected mobile network operators in the Netherlands.

Typically, it needs two sensor chips today for reliable and precise sensing of the steering torque in an electric power steering system. Thanks to a dual-sensor package innovation of Infineon Technologies AG , it will be only one sensor chip in future. Infineon has introduced two device families of linear Hall sensors and angle sensors

NetComm Wireless Limited and Wyless, provider of global Machine-to-Machine (M2M) wireless connectivity solutions and managed services, has announced a strategic distribution agreement that will expand NetComm Wireless’ footprint in the Americas and Europe through the delivery of cellular M2M devices to Wyless’ enterprise, mobile network operator and channel customers.

By now, it’s no secret that our beloved, perceived-to-be-low-TCO 2G networks are going away. Even as the vast majority of in-service M2M applications would continue to add value with 2G technology for the foreseeable future, a new reality is drawing near that is already disrupting the business of M2M service delivery. Even as procrastination appears

Eurotech, has announced the official release of Kura 1.0, the Java OSGi software framework for M2M multiservice gateways and smart sensors, which has graduated from the Incubation Phase to Mature Phase within the Eclipse Foundation project lifecycle. Kura Release 1.0 is the result of Eurotech’s commitment and contribution to Eclipse Kura, which enriches the portfolio of
