Abstract

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication has attracted considerable attention in research communities and has also started to gain momentum from a commercial perspective where operators are starting to offer services within the domains of fleet management, logistics, home automation, etc. At the same time, the more loosely defined, but broader domain of Internet of Things (IoT) is picking up as what many are seeing as an evolution of M2M. This paper investigates the fundamental differences of M2M and IoT by starting out with surveying some of the drivers and moving into an analysis of M2M of today from a technological and business perspective. The challenges in moving into IoT are investigated with emphasize on networking and computing.
