In the previous tutorial, we discussed various types of Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks, which were classified based on coverage area and applications. One of these types deserves special mention: the M2M IoT network. Machine-to-Machine (M2M) networks are specialized IoT networks that enable direct communication between devices, allowing them to operate without human intervention. While IoT encompasses…
What are the top technologies enabling M2M in 2023?
In today’s digital world, machine-to-machine (M2M) is quickly becoming standard. M2M includes any technology that enables networked devices to exchange data or information. It can be wired or wireless, but the Internet of things (IoT) has made such wireless communication between devices commonplace. The interconnected of things has also made these devices intelligent. Consider how…
