Abstract :
During the past decade, M2M (machine-to-machine) communication via satellite has revolutionized the fields of mobile asset tracking and monitoring of fixed assets in remote locations. Industry leaders predict that several hundred thousand satellite modems based upon the Orbcomm, Globalstar and Inmarsat satellite systems will be deployed worldwide during the next five years in order to meet growing demand.
