The Internet of Things is a system of inter-related computing devices, mechanical or digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring any human or computer interaction. The Internet of Things is a pretty simple concept, it means taking all the things in the world and connecting them to the Internet. IoT is a sub-set of M2M.


The IoT has evolved due to the convergence of multiple technologies, real-time analytics, machine learning, commodity sensors, and embedded systems. Technologies like Wireless sensor networks, control systems, embedded systems, automation (including home and building automation), and others contribute to enabling the Internet of Things. In the consumer market IoT is synonymous with products pertaining to the concept of the "Smart home", covering devices and appliances (such as lighting fixtures, thermostats, home security, cameras, and smart home appliances) that support one or more common ecosystems, and can be controlled via devices associated with that ecosystem, such as smartphones and smart speakers.


The IoT has faced some criticism, especially in regards to privacy and security related to these devices and their intention of pervasive presence but things are changing and people are becoming more receptive with increased security layer.

Architecture of IoT


IoT system architecture consists of three tiers: devices, the Edge Gateway, and cloud. Devices include networked components, such as the sensors and actuators found in IoT equipment. The Edge Gateway consists of sensor data aggregation, such as pre-processing of the data, securing connectivity to cloud, the event hub, and in some cases edge analytics. The final tier includes the cloud application built for IoT using the micro-services architecture, which are usually polyglot and inherently secure in nature using HTTPS/OAuth.


IoT applications -

  • Medical and healthcare
  • Transportation
  • V2X communications
  • Building and home automation
  • Industrial applications
  • Manufacturing
  • Agriculture
  • Infrastructure applications
  • Energy management
  • Environmental monitoring

Machine to Machine (M2M)


Machine-to-machine communication as it sounds: two machines communicating or exchanging data, without human interaction or intervention. This includes serial connection, power-line connection, or wireless communications in the industrial IoT. Ability to switch to wireless has made M2M communication much easier and enabled more applications to be connected.


In general, when someone says M2M, they often refer to mobile communication for embedded devices. Examples of M2M can ATM machines authorizing to dispense cash


How M2M Works?


As stated above, M2M makes the Internet of Things possible. M2M is among the fastest growing kinds of connected device technologies in the market as per Forbes right now, largely because M2M technologies can connect millions of devices in a single network. The connected devices include anything from vending machines to medical equipment to vehicles to buildings. Pretty much anything that houses sensor or control technology can be connected to some sort of wireless network.


M2M networks are very much same as LAN or WAN networks, but are exclusively used to allow machines, sensors, and controls, to communicate. These devices feed data they collect back to other devices in the network. This process allows a human (or an intelligent control unit) to assess what is happening across the whole network and issue appropriate instructions to member devices.

Differences Between M2M and the IoT


M2M is a direct communication between devices using wired or wireless communication channels. M2M refers to the interaction of two or more devices or machines that are connected to each other. The devices capture data and share with other connected devices, creating an intelligent network of things. M2M technology could be present in our homes, offices, shopping malls and other places. Ability to control electrical appliances like bulbs and fans using RF or Bluetooth from your smartphone is a simple example of M2M applications at home. Electrical appliance and your smartphone are the two machines communicating with each other.


IoT is the network of devices embedded with sensors and software enabling these devices to communicate with each other and exchange data over a computer network. The components in the IoT refer to hardware devices uniquely identifiable through a network platform within the Internet infrastructure.


IoT and M2M is confusing as both refer to communicating and sharing data. M2M is about machines, smartphones and appliances, whereas the IoT is about sensors, cyber based physical systems, Internet in simple words.


Which technology is more scalable?


IoT is inherently more scalable than M2M because of its cloud-based architecture. Cloud based architecture removes the need for additional hard-wired connections and M2M SIM card installation.


IoT and M2M platform -


IoT suffers platform fragmentation and lack of technical standards in both hardware variations and differences in the software running on them making development of applications that work consistently between different inconsistent technology ecosystems hard. For example, wireless connectivity for IoT devices can be done using Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave, LoRa, NB-IoT, etc with its own advantages and disadvantages, creating a separate ecosystem for IoT devices.


Conclusion


In a nutshell, both technologies enable machines to communicate, collect, store, and exchange data; autonomously make corresponding decisions; and perform tasks with very minimal human intervention. They are different solutions for the enterprise.


Businesses shouldn’t think about IoT or M2M for the sake of IoT or M2M. Instead, the focus should be on optimizing business models or providing value for customers. For example, if you’re in logistics business like DHL or DTDC, you have obvious choices for automated logistics decisions made by machines. But before you move forward with the process, you have to consider the value you’re getting out of it. How much does it cost to implement? Will it actually target the right audience? Will it be effective?
