The document discusses M2M (machine-to-machine) communication and the Eclipse M2M Industry Workgroup's efforts to standardize and promote open interoperability in the field. It outlines key trends driving growth in the M2M market, challenges facing development, and the Workgroup's goals of providing open communication protocols, application frameworks, tools, and a developer portal to support an ecosystem of integrated M2M solutions. Use cases illustrate potential applications in vertical markets like logistics, medical services, and more.

3. However…
" The market is fragmented
Hardware, software, protocols…
all different, independent
Lack of integration…
between devices, to enterprise systems
" M2M development is complex
Many different skills required…
Hardware, Embedded, IT network, Telecom, web
No common architectural guidelines
" Current options are closed
Monolithic solutions…
device specific, app specific, market specific
Proprietary SDKs, protocols, potential vendor lock-in
