M2M Applications
• Small But Growing: M2M only 2% of all data plans in 2010 (up 46%)
• Consumers Driving Demand: Consumer electronic devices account for most M2M growth in North America and Europe, especially e-readers and personal navigation devices
• Growth Varies by Industry:- Transportation is the largest industry (and still growing)- Healthcare and Security applications overcoming privacy concerns- Emerging industries include Digital Signage and Metering
Cellular Connectivity What’s fueling the growth?
• Government funding• Dropping technology prices• Reduced connectivity rates
from cellular carriers• Increased availability of
cellular networks worldwide• Regulatory compliance
