M2M Systems

Five Questions to Ask When Designing an M2M System is an article appearing at Sensors. M2M is an acronym for machine to machine and refers to machines that communicate with each other and do so without the need for human intervention. It is a technology expected to experience great growth in the next ten years. By that time there could be more connected machines than there are people on earth today i.e. six billion connected machines.

The article is intended to direct the thinking of those involved in the design of M2M systems. To that end five questions are posed and readers are guided to answers that are applicable to their particular circumstances.
