M2M Project Management

Overview The expansion of traditional cellular communication networks like GSM and CDMA and their evolution to faster and more robust data transfer solutions (GPRS, EDGE, 3G) is resulting in a growing number of companies and organizations thinking about connecting their products to such data networks to provide new services or to enhance existing ones. The M2M abbreviation, that stands for Machine To Machine, encompasses all equipment (hardware), software, and processes that enable machine management related communication between different machines and between machines and people. The range of possibilities offered by GPRS, EDGE, and 3G make these networks the most attractive information transportation media for M2M solutions even though M2M encompasses equipment connected through PSTN (analogue phone modem), Ethernet, DSL/Cables networks, and WiFi.
