M2M, the Buzzword
The one I am referring to is an abbreviation of Machine to Machine.
It's
simply a communication mechanism between machines or devices. The
communication is done with minimal or no human intervention, hence the
term machine. If interested, Wikipedia has a much more elaborate
definition here.
M2M
is getting a lot of traction within the connected device community
because it touches many industry verticals spanning from industrial,
consumer, energy, automotive and medical to name a few.
