M2M Software Platforms

Cloud Computing Takes a Central Role in the M2M Market

Research Report

The cumulative global connections in the cellular M2M market will rise greatly from 2011 to 2017. Some important industry players have published their own forecasts of 20 billion to 50 billion total connected devices by 2020 for the broader "Internet of Things." Nevertheless, a key challenge for the industry remains the complexity of developing, deploying, and managing M2M applications over the cellular network. This is a challenge both for mobile network operators that are trying to offer profitable services tailored to the M2M market, as well as for application developers and service providers that are trying to reduce costs, speed time to market, and simplify robust application deployments. This report covers the market for two key segments of the M2M software platform market, namely connected device platforms (CDP) and application enablement platforms (AEP). CDPs enable the cost-effective deployment and management of M2M connections over cellular networks. AEPs enable quicker and less expensive application development as well as granular remote device management. A technology overview is provided, including analysis of emerging standards and open-source tools, key market issues are addressed, the competitive landscape and value chain are analyzed, and detailed five-year forecasts are offered for both CDP and AEP revenue on a global basis.
