M2M
• Communication between machines or devices
with computing and communication facilities. • Free of any human intervention. • Machine to Machine refers to networking of machines. • Communication protocols- Zigbee, bluetooth, ModBus, 6LowPAN, 802.15.4 Need of M2M gateway • Communication protocols provide M2M nodes connectivity within/inside a single network. • M2M nodes can not communicate with nodes in external network. • Hence M2M gateways are used. Application of M2M
• M2M data is gathered for enterprise
applications, service management applications, remote monitoring applications • Applications- smart metering, home automation, industrial automation M2M vs IoT Communication Protocols • M2M and IoT can differ in how the communication between machines happens. Sr. No. M2M IoT
1 Focus is on protocols below network Focus is on protocols above network
layer layer 2 Non IP based protocols(dedicated to Both, Non IP based protocols and IP specific sections) based protocols (devices can communicate over internet) 3 ZigBee, Bluetooth, ModBus, HTTP, CoAP, WebSockets, MQTT, 6LoWPAN, 802.15.4 XMPP, DDS, AMQP M2M vs IoT • Hardware vs. Software emphasis Sr. No. M2M IoT
1 The emphasis of M2M is more on The emphasis of IoT is more on
hardware. software. 2 No software part as such, limited Run special software for sensor data functionality. collection, data analysis, interfacing cloud through IP communication M2M vs IoT • Machines in M2M vs. Things in IoT Sr. No. M2M IoT 1 Homogeneous machine types within heterogeneous things over the M2M area network.. internet. M2M vs IoT • Data collection & analysis Sr. No. M2M IoT
