M2M communications revolutionising the future

Oct. 27, 2015 - PRLog -- Marketing release: With the help of Machine-to-Machine communications (M2M), Vodafone has partnered with some of the world’s most innovative companies to create products and services that are revolutionising our way of life and how we do business. Vodafone has been working on M2M for over 20 years and retains leadership position in the Gartner magic quadrant for managed Machine-to-Machine services worldwide.

In the future, everything and everyone will be connected to one another in numerous ways and vital to making this work is M2M technology. It´s been said that by the year 2020, over 50 billion ‘things’ will be communicating with one another*, resulting in information that will help us cut costs, save energy and ultimately better organise our lives.

Vodafone’s Global M2M SIM is opening up new ways of doing the things that we have always taken for granted and creating things we never before thought possible. It does this by enabling content to be updated and managed in real-time anywhere in the world. Today, this technology has helped develop tracking capabilities for elderly patients with dementia and children out to explore the world, solutions for crowded parking problems and overflowing public waste bins and increase efficiency of everything from cattle feeders to air travel.

This is only the beginning. For more information on the business opportunities made possible by the Internet of Things and to read about inspiring examples from the world of M2M, please visit http://m2m-mktg.vodafone.com/powering_the_internet_of_thi...
