Machine to Machine

M2M refers to data communications between machines. M2M is most commonly translated as Machine-to-Machine but has sometimes been translated as Man-to-Machine, Machine-to-Man, Machine-to-Mobile and Mobile-to-Machine. Software Intelligence.

Among cellular telephone service providers, M2M means Mobile-to-Mobile, and is used to describe calls that do not involve land lines. Like all evolving technologies, its definition continues to evolve, but it generally refers to telemetry or telemetries that is accomplished using networks, especially public wireless networks. 

A manufacturer of machinery for preparing shipping packages may use M2M to remotely monitor its equipment to detect problems before they result in failures and to track consumption of packaging chemicals as an alternative to manual inspection by its field service technicians or the customer's equipment operators. 

A building operator can use M2M to monitor equipment operation and maintenance. This data can then be used to optimize operations and reduce energy costs. Wirelessly monitor the status of portable fire extinguishers throughout a campus. Eliminate the need for manually verify pressure gauge alerted if the extinguisher is discharged.
