M2M uses a range of technologies to create intelligent assets. First, sensors and other electronic devices are attached to a remote machine. Depending on the machine’s particular function, they capture relevant data, such as temperature or speed. This is transmitted wirelessly from a SIM integrated in the device to a central server, where it is translated into meaningful information. In response, messages can then be sent the other way to change the way the machine is behaving. For example: the machine is running too fast; slow it down.
