The Internet of Things (IoT) and M2M are major subject in the IT world, with far-reaching implications for everyday life, yet both are nebulous terms not yet in the household lexicon. These new technological paradigms aim to promulgate the connection and automated transfer of critical information between machines without human input. Visiongain expect revenues from the Machine to Machine (M2M) market to reach $26.7bn in 2016

It is a giant leap forward for process automations and its implications stretch across myriad industries, including security, energy and utilities, aerospace, defence, retail, finance, manufacturing, automotive, healthcare, and so many more. Potential connected endpoints are in every industry and every room.

New connected technologies suggest the impending arrival of intelligent health monitoring devices, self-monitoring industrial devices, fleet management and road safety tools, connected cars, smart cities, energy grids, and household appliances.

M2M is the backbone of this future. The technology utilises an existing wireless framework in order to connect devices under a unified service umbrella.

It is an industry that is set to grow rapidly and change the landscape of telecommunications. Although the number of mobile phones in service is somewhat limited by the number of people on Earth, the number of potential connected machine endpoints is virtually limitless. In the next 5-10 years, this promises to be an equally vast source of revenue, available to the best-prepared service providers and enablers.

Visiongain forecasts the M2M market to reach 290.8 million connected devices by the end of 2015, or 3.47% of all wireless connections.

This new wave of technology promises revolutionary cost savings across nearly all industries and new revenue streams for MNOs, applications providers, module and device vendors, service managers, and systems integrators. M2M and IoT are markets with high ceilings and immediate prospects for resource optimisation.

The breadth of the potential M2M and IoT markets cannot be understated. While feature phone and smartphone adoption has slowed in recent years, M2M is one of the larger growth industries for carriers, who should be poised to exploit one of the most substantial, cross-industry turnabouts in the early 21st century.
