Tech Update: What's Powering Your M2M Solution?

By Sarah Howland, Integrated Solutions magazine

As an end user deploying an M2M solution, it is important to understand the various components of your solution and how they work together — from the module that will collect and transmit data and the wireless connectivity that will enable that data transfer to the software you'll use to process the data once you've obtained it. I recently discussed the M2M industry with experts from some of the leading M2M module providers — Cinterion Wireless Modules, Sierra Wireless, and Telit Wireless Solutions. While you won't work directly with an M2M module vendor on your M2M implementation, the insight these experts provide is extremely valuable — from what to consider to make sure the module powering your M2M solution will deliver the performance you're looking for to their overall pulse on the M2M industry and where it's headed.
