Smart Devices And Services Connected By CDMA2000

This paper explores the application opportunities, technology requirements and business benefits arising from machine-tomachine (M2M) communication. Intelligent device networking is the next big thing in information technology. It will enable the transition from “dumb” products to smart products as portals into a whole new world of customer value-creation and “smart services.” CDMA-based wireless networks are at the forefront of this transformation. This paper is for the vast community of players that make up the CDMA2000® M2M ecosystem. M2M solution providers, device suppliers, network operators, system integrators, thought leaders in various vertical markets, and investors will benefit from this exploration.

Executive Summary

A revolution is occuring in the world of information and communication technologies (ICT) as a new era of computing comes about in the form of machine-To-machine (M2M) communication. M2M will drive a multiyear wave of growth in the ICT industry based on the convergence of innovations in hardware, software architectures, back room data center operations, client devices, and network connectivity and communication.

Millions of devices are currently being connected to the Internet. The types of devices being connected today extend far beyond the laptops and cell phones we have become so accustomed to. Today, virtually all products that use electricity—from toys and coffee makers to cars and medical diagnostic machines—possess inherent data processing capabilities. These days, almost any manufactured object has the potential to become network-enabled, thus confirming the enormity of the M2M opportunity.
