Market Definition

The definition of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) connections for this report is as follows: “the ability of assets, devices, and machines to remotely operate, perform actions, and exchange information by communicating with each other, through wired or wireless mediums, and without human assistance.” M2M can also be defined as “Technologies that allow two or more machines of the same type other than smartphones, tablets, and wearables to communicate with each other through wired or wireless connectivity.”

Machine-to-machine (M2M) refers to all forms of technologies that enable communication between two or more machines of the same type (other than smartphones, tablets, and wearables) through wired or wireless connections. The growing connectivity among edge devices such as smart appliances, medical devices, and white goods has transformed the way in which technology affects humans in almost every sphere of activity. Since the advent of network automation and cellular communication, M2M has been used in telemetry, automation, and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA).
