History[edit]
Wired communication machines have been using signaling to exchange information since
the early 20th century. Machine to machine has taken more sophisticated forms since the
advent of computer networking automation[7] and predates cellular communication. It has
been utilized in applications such as telemetry, industrial, automation, SCADA.
Machine to machine devices that combined telephony and computing were first
conceptualized by Theodore Paraskevakos while working on his Caller ID system in 1968,
later patented in the U.S. in 1973. This system, similar but distinct from the panel call
indicator of the 1920s and automatic number identification of the 1940s, which
communicated telephone numbers to machines, was the predecessor to what is now caller
ID, which communicates numbers to people.
Processing Chips
After several attempts and experiments, he realized that in order for the telephone to be
able to read the caller's telephone number, it must possess intelligence so he developed
the method in which the caller's number is transmitted to the called receiver's device. His
portable transmitter and receiver were reduced to practice in 1971 in a Boeing facility in
Huntsville, Alabama, representing the world's first working prototypes of caller identification
devices (shown at right). They were installed at Peoples' Telephone Company in Leesburg,
Alabama and in Athens, Greece where they were demonstrated to several telephone
companies with great success. This method was the basis for modern-day Caller ID
technology. He was also the first to introduce the concepts of intelligence, data processing
and visual display screens into telephones which gave rise to the smartphone. [8]
In 1977, Paraskevakos started Metretek, Inc. in Melbourne, FL to conduct
commercial automatic meter reading and load management for electrical services which led
to the "smart grid" and "smart meter". To achieve mass appeal, Paraskevakos sought to
reduce the size of the transmitter and the time of transmission through telephone lines by
creating a single chip processing and transmission method. Motorola was contracted in
1978 to develop and produce the single chip, but the chip was too large for Motorola's
capabilities at that time. As a result, it became two separate chips (shown at right).
While cellular is becoming more common, many machines still use landlines (POTS, DSL,
cable) to connect to the IP network. The cellular M2M communications industry emerged in
1995 when Siemens set up a department inside its mobile phones business unit to develop
and launch a GSM data module called "M1"[9] based on the Siemens mobile phone S6 for
M2M industrial applications, enabling machines to communicate over wireless networks. In
October 2000, the modules department formed a separate business unit inside Siemens
In the 2000s[edit]
In 2004, Digi International began producing wireless gateways and routers. Shortly after in
2006, Digi purchased Max Stream, the manufacturer of XBee radios. These hardware
components allowed users to connect machines no matter how remote their location. Since
then, Digi has partnered with several companies to connect hundreds of thousands of
devices around the world.
In 2004, Christopher Lowery, a UK telecoms entrepreneur, founded Wyless Group, one of
the first Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO) in the M2M space. Operations began in
the UK and Lowery published several patents introducing new features in data protection &
management, including Fixed IP Addressing combined with Platform Managed Connectivity
over VPNs. The company expanded to the US in 2008 and became T-Mobile's largest
partners on both sides of the Atlantic.
In 2006, Machine-to-Machine Intelligence (M2Mi) Corp started work with NASA to develop
automated machine to machine intelligence. Automated machine to machine intelligence
enables a wide variety of mechanisms including wired or wireless tools, sensors, devices,
server computers, robots, spacecraft and grid systems to communicate and exchange
information efficiently.[13]
In 2009, AT&T and Jasper Technologies, Inc. entered into an agreement to support the
creation of machine to machine devices jointly. They have stated that they will be trying to
drive further connectivity between consumer electronics and machine to machine wireless
networks, which would create a boost in speed and overall power of such devices. [14] 2009
also saw the introduction of real-time management of GSM and CDMA network services for
machine to machine applications with the launch of the PRiSMPro Platform from
machine to machine network provider KORE Telematics. The platform focused on making
multi-network management a critical component for efficiency improvements and costsavings in machine to machine device and network usage. [15]
In the 2010s[edit]
In early 2010 in the U.S., AT&T, KPN, Rogers, Telcel / America Movil and Jasper
Technologies, Inc. began to work together in the creation of a machine to machine site,
which will serve as a hub for developers in the field of machine to machine communication
electronics.[19] In February 2010, Vodafone, Verizon Wireless and nPhase (a joint
partnership of Qualcomm and Verizon) announced their strategic alliance to provide global
machine to machine solutions that would offer their customers an easy way to roll out
machine to machine solutions across Europe and the US. [20] In March
2010, Sprint and Axeda Corporation announced their strategic alliance for global M2M
solutions.[21] In January 2011, Aeris Communications, Inc. announced that it is providing
machine to machine telematics services for Hyundai Motor Corporation.[22] Partnerships like
these make it easier, faster and more cost-efficient for businesses to use machine to
machine. In June 2010, mobile messaging operator Tyntec announced the availability of its
high-reliability SMS services for M2M applications.
In March 2011, machine to machine network service provider KORE Wireless teamed with
Vodafone Group and Iridium Communications Inc., respectively, to make KORE Global
Connect network services available via cellular and satellite connectivity in more than 180
countries, with a single point for billing, support, logistics and relationship management.
Later that year, KORE acquired Australia-based Mach Communications Pty Ltd. in
response to increased M2M demand within Asia-Pacific markets.[23][24]
In April 2011, Ericsson acquired Telenor Connexion's machine to machine platform, in an
effort to get more technology and know-how in the growing sector.[25]
In August 2011, Ericsson announced that they have successfully completed the asset
purchase agreement to acquire Telenor Connexion's (machine to machine) technology
platform.[26]
Cloud connectivity is becoming a significant piece of the machine to machine solution as
cellular and wireless connection speeds increase. Machine to machine solutions providers
now offer platforms as a service (PaaS), which simplify machine networks by allowing
users to manage deployments remotely. Device Cloud by Etherios is a PaaS that can
integrate into the Salesforce.com platform and offers API's that can be used to develop a
custom application.
According to the independent wireless analyst firm Berg Insight, the number of cellular
network connections worldwide used for machine to machine communication was 47.7
million in 2008. The company forecasts that the number of machine to machine
connections will grow to 187 million by 2014.[27]
A research study from the E-Plus Group[28] shows that in 2010 2.3 million machine to
machine smart cards will be in the German market. According to the study, this figure will
rise in 2013 to over 5 million smart cards. The main growth driver is segment "tracking and
tracing" with an expected average growth rate of 30 percent. The fastest growing M2M
segment in Germany, with an average annual growth of 47 percent, will be the consumer
electronics segment.
In April 2013, OASIS MQTT standards group is formed with the goal of working on a
lightweight publish/subscribe reliable messaging transport protocol suitable for
communication in M2M/IoT contexts.[29] IBM and StormMQ chair this standards group and
Machine-to-Machine Intelligence (M2Mi) Corp is the secretary.[30] In May 2014, the
committee published the MQTT and NIST Cybersecurity Framework Version 1.0 committee
note to provide guidance for organizations wishing to deploy MQTT in a way consistent with
the NIST Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity.[31]
In May 2013, machine to machine network service providers KORE Telematics,
Oracle, Deutsche Telekom, Digi International, ORBCOMM and Telit formed the International
Machine to Machine Council (IMC). The first trade organization to service the entire
machine to machine ecosystem, the IMC aims at making machine to machine ubiquitous by
helping companies install and manage the communication between machines. [32][33]
In May 2013, Wyless Group introduced Wyless Connect, a Bundled Solution offering,
combining routing equipment and a managed solution for connectivity and implementation
of fail-over and back-up requirements for multi-branch businesses.
In September 2013, Wyless Group acquired a majority holding in T-M Data, an M2M
service provider in Brazil.
In February 2014, Wyless Group signed an agreement with T-Mobile US to implement a TMobile instance of the Wyless Porthos Data Management Platform, hosted at Interoute's
New York Data Centre. All T-Mobile's US M2M traffic would be managed by the Porthos
platform.
In April 2014, Wyless Group acquired Aspider Solutions M2M BV, a Netherlands M2M
service provider, operating in Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.
In April 2016, Wyless Group was acquired by KORE Telematics for an undisclosed sum,
making KORE the largest global non-MNO provider of M2M - IoT services with over 3
million deployments.
Applications[edit]
Wireless networks that are all interconnected can serve to improve production and
efficiency in various areas, including machinery that works on building cars and on letting
the developers of products know when certain products need to be taken in for
maintenance and for what reason. Such information serves to streamline products that
consumers buy and works to keep them all working at highest efficiency.[6]
Another application is to use wireless technology to monitor systems, such as utility meters.
This would allow the owner of the meter to know if certain elements have been tampered
with, which serves as a quality method to stop fraud.[citation needed] In Quebec, Rogers will
connect Hydro Quebec's central system with up to 600 Smart Meter collectors, which
aggregate data relayed from the province's 3.8-million Smart Meters.[citation needed] In the UK,
Telefonica won on a 1.78 billion ($2.4 billion) smart-meter contract to provide connectivity
services over a period of 15 years in the central and southern regions of the country. The
contract is the industrys biggest deal yet.[34]
A third application is to use wireless networks to update digital billboards. This allows
advertisers to display different messages based on time of day or day-of-week, and allows
quick global changes for messages, such as pricing changes for gasoline. [citation needed]
The industrial machine to machine market is undergoing a fast transformation as
enterprises are increasingly realizing the value of connecting geographically dispersed
people, devices, sensors and machines to corporate networks. Today, industries such as oil
and gas, precision agriculture, military, government, smart
cities/municipalities, manufacturing, and public utilities, among others, utilize machine to
machine technologies for a myriad of applications. Many companies have enabled complex
and efficient data networking technologies to provide capabilities such as high-speed data
transmission, mobile mesh networking, and 3G/4G cellular backhaul.
Telematics and in-vehicle entertainment is an area of focus for machine to machine
developers. Recent examples include Ford Motor Company, which has teamed with AT&T
to wirelessly connect Ford Focus Electric with an embedded wireless connection and
dedicated app that includes the ability for the owner to monitor and control vehicle charge
settings, plan single- or multiple-stop journeys, locate charging stations, pre-heat or cool
the car.[citation needed] In 2011, Audi partnered with T-Mobile and RACO Wireless to offer Audi
Connect. Audi Connect allows users access to news, weather, and fuel prices while turning
the vehicle into a secure mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing passengers access to the Internet.

1) Fleet Clustering to group similar machines for sound comparison; 2) Local Cluster Fault
Detection to evaluate the similarity of individual machines to the fleet features. The purpose
of fleet clustering is to aggregate working units with similar configurations or working
conditions into a group for sound comparison and subsequently create local fault detection
models when global models cannot be established. Within the framework of peer to peer
comparison methodology, the machine to machine network is crucial to ensure the
instantaneous information share between different working units and thus form the basis of
fleet level health management technology.
The fleet level health management using clustering approach was patented for its
application in wind turbine health monitoring[39] after validated in a wind turbine fleet of three
distributed wind farms.[40] Different with other industrial devices with fixed or static regimes,
wind turbine's operating condition is greatly dictated by wind speed and other ambient
factors. Even though the multi-modeling methodology can be applicable in this scenario,
the number of wind turbines in a wind farm is almost infinite and may not present itself as a
practical solution. Instead, by leveraging on data generated from other similar turbines in
the network, this problem can be properly solved and local fault detection models can be
effective built. The results of wind turbine fleet level health management reported in [39]
[41]
demonstrated the effectiveness of applying a cluster-based fault detection methodology
in the wind turbine networks.
Fault detection for a horde of industrial robots experiences similar difficulties as lack of fault
detection models and dynamic operating condition. Industrial robots are crucial
in automotive manufacturing and perform different tasks as welding, material handling,
painting, etc. In this scenario, robotic maintenance becomes critical to ensure continuous
production and avoid downtime. Historically, the fault detection models for all the industrial
robots are trained similarly. Critical model parameters like training samples, components,
and alarming limits are set the same for all the units regardless of their different
functionalities. Even though these identical fault detection models can effectively identify
faults sometimes, numerous false alarms discourage users from trusting the reliability of
the system. However, within a machine network, industrial robots with similar tasks or
working regimes can be group together; the abnormal units in a cluster can then be
prioritized for maintenance via training based or instantaneous comparison. This peer to
peer comparison methodology inside a machine network could improve the fault detection
accuracy significantly.[40]
