M2M Device Realization
Time to Get Technical
Machine-to-machine (M2M) technology, enabling cellular-wireless devices to communicate with other devices and network-based services, is bringing rapid and significant change to a wide variety of industries and to our everyday lives. In our last panel, the M2M SIG explored key factors in bringing solutions to market and how to overcome impediments to enable service deployment more quickly.
In this session, the SIG invites you on a deeper-dive into more specific technical aspects of M2M Device realization. Delivering an M2M Device encompasses numerous challenges in selecting a technology platform, developing product software & hardware, and navigating the gauntlet of regulatory & operator approvals. This SIG event features leading experts from key players in the ecosystem – including Chipset/Technology, Software, Product-Hardware, and Certification – as they convey concepts essential to accomplish successful M2M Device realization.
