Abstract
Realizing the Vision of Hyper Connectivity
This Frost & Sullivan research service on the U.S. machine-to-machine (M2M)
communications market presents an analysis of the key trends and opportunities
in the connected machines space in the United States. The term M2M itself is
quite broad - M2M connections can be used across the wireless and wireline
domains, and connectivity for deployed endpoints can be provided via
cellular/mobile, satellite, wireline/Internet, and other private and public
telecommunication networks. This study focusses on the cellular M2M
connectivity space in the United States, and identifies market opportunity
from a cellular-enabled connected devices perspective only.
