ETSI develops standards for Machine to Machine communications
ETSI Headquarters, Sophia Antipolis, France - 11 February 2009
The Machine to Machine (M2M) market offers astonishing opportunities as well as unique challenges. With over 3 billion mobile phone users across the world, the mobile telecoms industry can rightly be proud of its success. But this pales in significance next to the potential market of over 50 billion devices of all types to be connected, of which only 50 million are connected today. These devices vary from highly-mobile vehicles communicating in real-time, to immobile meter-reading appliances that send small amounts of data sporadically. Today's telecoms networks have not been designed with these new types of ‘users' in mind.
