All over the world, telcos have contemplated playing a
part in the M2M industry. In the past the potential for entry
has been limited by various factors and mostly limited to
industrial uses. The time has come for telcos to step into
the commercially prospective and consumer market of
M2M services. The opportunity awaits for wireless M2M
services as chipsets are getting smaller and commercially
more viable thereby creating a new avenue for connecting
non-traditional consumer devices to the network.

According to recent research, revenues from mobile
connected M2M and embedded devices will rise to $18.9
billion globally by 2014. One-third of the revenues are
projected to arise from consumer & commercial telematics
and vehicle applications. The other areas which will
contribute signifcantly to M2M revenues include mobile
connected buildings, alarm systems, smart grids, and
tracking devices watched from a monitoring center.
This presents a highly prospective
future to M2M services and
telecommunication operators. This
partnership is projected to strengthen
very quickly in the future as the market
experts predict operators who are yet
to explore M2M service opportunities,
will do very soon as they are high
growth drivers.
