In the world of connectivity, M2M (Machine to Machine) and IoT (Internet of Things) often get confused. Here’s what sets them apart.
What is M2M?
M2M describes direct communication between two devices. For example, a sensor sending data to a central system without human involvement.
What is IoT?
IoT takes M2M to the next level. It’s a vast ecosystem of connected devices, like parking ANPR cameras, EV chargers, or body-worn cameras. All sharing data and responding to real-world conditions.
Key Differences
- M2M: Point-to-point, often closed systems.
- IoT: Networked, scalable, with cloud integration and analytics.
IoT opens the door to smarter cities, efficient EV charging, and enhanced public safety. And at Go2Sim, our products like Flexi-Tariff, SimUi, and Kami make managing IoT estates simple and cost-efficient.
