Reliable on-street EV Charging with 4G
Liberty Charge utilises an un-steered roaming SIM solution to ensure continuous, reliable data collection from their EV charge points.
‘Things’ can refer to physical devices, buildings, vehicles, in fact anything that can be connected to the internet via embedded connectivity technology.
Connected technology continues to impact the way we work and live – smart homes, smart cars, cellular connectivity and the Internet of Everything have become everyday terms.
IoT applications are reaching more and more industrial and commercial sectors, including Smart Buildings, Vehicle Telematics, Street Lighting and eHealth. We’re transforming business and operational models which means that they’re more efficient, safe and secure.
This technology has been used for decades as the standard in telemetry. Wireless M2M has been dominated by mobiles using cellular networks since they were introduced in the mid-2000s with 2G introducing the new age of SIM connectivity.
Applications can be seen in Manufacturing, Smart Agriculture, Industry 4.0, and Traffic Control which includes monitoring speed and volume.
M2M doesn’t need an internet connection whereas IoT does.
IoT is the next step, it’s an eco-system or network of devices that exchange data over a network and can connect anything. This data can be monitored and controlled using a platform allowing for businesses to closely monitor their ‘things’ to work efficiently, saving time and money.
M2M and IoT both provide remote access to devices or other connected things.
Technology | M2M | IoT |
---|---|---|
Internet Protocol (IP) | Mainly focused on direct point-to-point connectivity across mobile networks or fixed lines. Communication between devices only. |
IoT communications involve IP networks and employ cloud or middleware platforms. With IoT, broader processes, connectivity and applications are possible. |
Big Data | Data from M2M devices is not shared with other applications. | Connected assets using IoT can deliver huge generated data packets of which programming and analysis can lead to improved business performance. |
Scalability | No scalability. Only works between one or two devices. | IoT uses a cloud-based architecture connecting multiple assets or devices. |
Software | Hardware based. Internet is not needed to communicate between devices. | Active internet connection and platform for data management required. |
Communication | Communication is limited between machine to machine or device to device. | An unlimited number and mix of assets, devices and gateways can exchange data via cellular connectivity. |
