Introduction
Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communication delivers a common solution i.e. remote device access. However, the difference between two technologies is the process of achieving remote devices access. For instance, the traditional M2M solutions generally depend on point-to-point communications by utilizing implanted hardware modules and either wired or cellular networks whereas, IoT solutions typically depend on IP based networks in order to interface device data to either a middleware or cloud platform. Also, in M2M communication, the requirement of Internet connection is not necessary. In contrast, IoT requires Internet connection in most cases. In terms of integration options, the M2M communication has limited integration options owing to the need of corresponding communication standards; and IoT has unlimited integration options although it requires a solution which has the capability to manage all the communications.
Market Dynamics
The global demand for IoT and M2M communications is propelling with the growing demand for wireless networks, cloud applications and sensors. These factors largely depend on enhancing connectivity as well as government support. IoT and M2M communications are resulting in escalating the connectivity between devices and objects. This is due to optimization of big data and cloud computing. These technological trends help in the backend processing and analytics needed to manage with the communication methodologies.
The adoption of IoT and M2M communications is propelled by various industry verticals owing to the advantages offered by these technologies such as identification & tracking, monitoring, business analysis, integral control, efficient process & service and early response. Also, an intelligent communication network enables the seamless integration of data & information thereby, boosting the market growth of IoT and M2M communication market. However, lack of skilled professionals, privacy & security, slowly eliminating 2G technology and government standards are few factors hampering the growth of IoT and M2M communication market.
