3. HISTORY
THEODORE PARASKEVASKOS (1968)
The history of M2M systems began with use of
data transmission systems by the Russian army in
1845 .
4. What is M2M
Machine to machine (M2M) Communication refers to
communication between devices capable of computing.
Free Of Human intervention.
Similar to SCADA (Supervisory control and data acquisition).
Platform Independent.
M2M is a new business concept Originating from the
telemetry Technology.
5. Key components of an M2M system include sensors, RFID, a
cellular or Wi-Fi communication link, and autonomous computing
software programmed to help a network device interpret data and
make decisions.
These M2M applications translate the data, which can trigger pre-
programmed automated actions.
MAIN COMPONENTS:-
7. Devices; Device capable of replying to request for data
contained within those devices or capabale of transmitting
data autonomously.Ex Sensing Devices etc.
Iot Gateways(M2M area networks); Equipment that uses M2M
capabilities to ensure M2M devices inter-working and
interconnection to the communication network.
Network Carries; Provide connectivity between M2M Devices
and M2M Gateways,e.g. personal area network.
Backend System; They provide the storage and have decision
making capabilities.
11. Applications of M2M
:
In telemedicine: M2M devices can enable the real
time monitoring of patients' vital statistics, dispensing medicine
when required or tracking healthcare assets.
Home Appliances IoT already affects home appliance connectivity
through platforms like Nest. However, M2M is expected to take
home-based IoT to the next level.
Manufacturing: Every manufacturing environment whether it’s
food processing or general product manufacturing relies on
technology to ensure costs are managed properly and processes
are executed efficiently.
Traffic Control: Traffic Control is another common area where
the use of M2M communication can be seen.

13. ADVANTAGES:
M2M communication is supported by cellular networks either
directly or through gateway.
It is easy to roll out and maintain.
It is available with fixed and mobile networks both indoors and
outdoors.
It offers higher range, minimum latency, higher throughput and
consume less energy
It enables communication of smart devices without any human
intervention.
14. KEY FEATURES OF M2M
Large number of nodes or devices.
Low cost.
Energy Efficient.
Small traffic per machine/devices.
Large quantity of collective data.
Monitoring.
Time Controlled and time tolerant.
15. M2M REQUIREMENTS
Scalability: The system must function efficiently even after other connected devices
are added.
Anonymity: The system must be able to hide the identity of connected devices.
Logs: M2M systems must be able to record failed installations, defects or incorrect
data – and retain those records for later viewing.Systems must adhere to the basic
principles of machine-to-machine communication explained above.
Transmission methods: The system must support different transmission methods
such as Unicast, Anycast, Multicast, and Broadcast, and be able to switch between
these methods to reduce loads during M2M data transmission.
Scheduling of message transmission: The system must be able to schedule data
transfer times and control or delay communications based on priority.
Selection of communication channels: Communication channels within the
machine-to-machine system should be optimized based on rules for transmission
errors, delays, and network costs.
