The Benefits of M2M Wireless Communications

The key criteria for a successful M2M wireless communication strategy are to reduce costs, improve processes and become more effective.

Leading manufacturers who are M2M enabled have a number of benefits over companies who aren’t.

•    Preventative maintenance and quality of service by providing real time and up to date support.
•    A centralised service and data management system provides efficiency.
•    A fast response to issues by outsourcing troubleshooting, saving time and money.
•    Monitor issues to prevent or reduce down time, therefore increasing revenues and productivity.
•    Real time statistics
•    Overall reducing costs and providing an efficient quality of service to customers.

Additionally wireless M2M communications provide more benefits to the organisation.

Within a basic framework, there are many different choices to make such as how the machine is connected, what type of communication is used, and how the data is used. Even though it can be complex, once a company knows what it wants to do with the data, the options for setting up the application are usually straightforward.

Flexibility

Wireless devices are not limited to a physical location. This gives you the option to move them if you need to and also gives you the ability to connect devices in remote locations to the wireless network, without the need for cables.

Mobility

Mobile devices can connect into the network, which isn’t possible with a fixed line, allowing wireless communication between all devices.

Access to information

Wireless communications deliver real time information to mobile devices. This enables information to be sent or received at any time and any place, providing live information for fast decision making.

Independent Network & Speed

A wireless communication network can be easily set up in a building or location without the need to integrate with a fixed line network, reducing time and costs.

Cost

There are many cost savings relating to the speed of set up, reducing cabling costs and reducing communication costs as CDMA - cellular is more cost effective than PSTN/fixed line.
