The Internet of Things (IoT) is a major subject in the IT world, but its implications reach far beyond. The interconnection of hundreds of millions of unique, embedded computing devices will have a profound impact on commerce, public service, indeed most fields of life. 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 will act as a backbone for these systems. The technology holds the promise of bringing dispersed assets into a connected corporate or government network. Machines in an industrial or manufacturing setting can be linked together to streamline production processes and operate at highest efficiency. Utility grids can be optimised and household usage monitored and recorded at minimal cost. Precision agriculture can be undertaken, bringing crop management into the digital age. Healthcare providers will be accessible and ever-present through remote monitoring, diagnostic, and treatment tools.

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.
