Location-based M2M opportunities exist across many industries and sectors. The M2M market is fragmented with no single leader, consisting of hardware vendors, network service providers, and value-added service companies connecting machines via various wireless and wired technologies. M2M devices are projected to grow rapidly, exceeding 600 million devices by 2015 and generating $24 billion in annual service revenues as they enable automated monitoring and data collection for complex systems. Mobile internet devices like netbooks and smartphones will also be a major driver of increased internet traffic in the coming years.
