From machine-to-machine to the internet of things: Introduction to a new age of intelligence

Machine-2-Machine Technologies outlines the background and overall vision for the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and services, including major standards. The book describes key technologies: everything from physical instrumentation devices to the cloud infrastructures used to collect data, derive information, and map it to current processes, as well as system architectures and regulatory requirements. These technologies are implemented across several sectors, including IT, telecom, and urban planning. This book provides a handy reference for all parties involved in the selection, development, and integration of M2M technologies in such sectors. Real-world service use case studies provide the hands-on knowledge needed to successfully develop and implement M2M and IoT technologies sustainably and profitably. The studies showcase the exact way individual components are combined to create a desirable solution, and cover several aspects of M2M and IoT problems spaces. The book finishes by describing a future vision for M2M technologies, including prospective changes in relevant standards. Key technologies and standards across sectors including IT, telecom, and urban planning are explained Several detailed use cases show how individual components combine to create effective solutionsA list of key design features are highlighted for the creation of viable technical solutions Written by experts in the technology and business aspects of M2M communication, who have experience implementing M2M systems Presents problems and solutions in an end-to-end fashion, providing both technical and business insights INDICE: Introduction; History and background; Design issues for M2M solutions; M2M technologies - the basics; System architectures; M2M for asset monitoring; M2M in smart/ sustainable cities; M2M in smart buildings
