Successful Troubleshooting Design For It

M2M / IoT devices sometimes encounter problems when operating in the field; however the logistics of reaching and repairing a M2M / IoT device - particularly one that is remote or otherwise not easily accessible within its installation - can often be quite expensive. Thus, it is important to design troubleshooting and device update support right from the start - the time and effort spent on this capability will save you significant time and money throughout the lifecycle of your deployment. This whitepaper identifies touch-points during the M2M / IoT application lifecycle, when it is important to consider the necessary debugging and troubleshooting support in a product.

Lorawan™ Capacity Trial in Dense Urban Environment

In December 2017, machineQ and Semtech executed a joint study designed to emulate a full-scale dense network based on these deployment techniques. In the study, multiple sensors hit multiple gateways. The study assessed the value of a dense network by reassuring packet success rate, interference, gateway density, and evaluated performanceand quality of service potential in a dense urban LoRaWAN™ network environment. The following paper summarizes the outcomes of this joint study.

Securing the Internet of Things/IOT

The complex nature of security and technology encompasses many factors. This white paper addresses security in the context of the rapidly growing market for the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. We will describe some factors to take into account when designing an IoT / M2M application that transmits data from a remote device and send control messages to it

This document describes the changing market conditions faced by manufacturers and distributors of remote patient monitoring devices. We will review the trends and the opportunities that technology and services offer in today's market.

The ABC’s of the M2M Switch

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) turns the wireless business model upside down.

Assessing the Value of Telemedicine Devices in Today’s Healthcare Landscape

Telemedicine presents tremendous potential to disrupt traditional healthcare delivery models and expand the reach of quality healthcare to the global population. The concept embodies the use of information technology and electronic communications to provide healthcare services to patients in disparate locations, and it is fast growing as a viable solution to challenges facing healthcare institutions, patients, and the wider healthcare industry. This white paper consistently uses the term “telemedicine” to imply similar meaning for terms such as “eHealth,” “telehealth,” and “telecare.”

Unlocking Your Business Value: Leveraging Java on Devices

The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) opens up all types of service driven opportunities, delivering increased efficiencies, better customer value and improved quality of life. Realizing the full potential of the IoT requires that we change how we view and build devices which provide the core foundation of services.

Wireless IP for M2M / IOT Data – Best Practices

Since the introduction of wireless IP for M2M / IoT networks in 1995, communication and data transmission between and among machines is faster than ever before. More, it requires less power. This revelation has not only increased the speed of business, but also enabled the introduction of many new products and applications for M2M / IoT communication.

Report From Research Study: M2M Service Enablement Services

During 2011, Beecham Research conducted it's second research study on M2M Service Enablement. This report provides the detailed findings from that research.

Five Ways to Lower Your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for IOT/ M2M Deployments
