IoT – a smart way to do business
The Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication have been quietly revolutionising our world for decades. With M2M technology, machines can now talk to one another over fast 4G and 5G mobile networks. Information can be seamlessly exchanged, empowering greater efficiency and enhanced service delivery.
IoT sim cards and IoT tariffs are specifically designed to provide multi-network 4G/5G connectivity with data allowances purchased in kilobytes rather than the gigabytes provided for human browsing. Installing such sims into machines or sensors links the devices to your systems via the network. M2M is essentially similar to LAN or WAN connectivity. In a wider context, the technology feeds into what’s known as the Internet of Things (IoT), a super-connected world in which data can be exchanged by all kinds of devices, from smart street lighting systems and energy meters to onboard communications systems in cars and commercial vehicles.
Efficiency and sustainability
With an M2M connectivity solution over 4G and 5G you can harness the potential of your technology assets to improve efficiency and save money. Remote monitoring and analytics can reduce your operating costs. With devices able to collect and share data easily, you can gain vital insights to help you optimise the customer experience, plan for the future, innovate and explore possible new revenue streams.
M2M technology can also help you improve your carbon footprint. Connected smart devices can use real-time data to monitor and control energy efficiency in heating, lighting and air conditioning systems, as well as optimising power usage in manufacturing and other business processes.
At Cambridge Telecom we’re here to help you take full advantage of the opportunities offered by M2M and IoT. If you’d like to know more about adopting an M2M solution for your organisation contact us today.
