Wireless M2M Connections in Europe to Reach 25 Million by 2009
A new research report from the analysis firm Berg Insight forecasts that at least 25 million machines will be connected to mobile networks in Europe by 2009. Currently Berg Insight estimates the number of wireless m2m connections on the continent to 5 million. "We know that growth in the number of mobile phones is coming to an end in the developed world. There is however now clear evidence that other devices will assume the leading role in market developments. As people migrate to the new 3G networks in growing numbers, the old reliable GSM-networks will increasingly become the domains of our machines", comments Tobias Ryberg, senior analyst at Berg Insight. more

Four Factors Critical to Near Field Communications Market
Near Field Communication (NFC) is still in the early stages of commercial development. ABI Research has identified four factors that will be critical to the technology's successful deployment over the next few years. According to Erik Michielsen, the firm's director of RFID and m2m research, they are:
- Handset availability
- A uniform application programming interface (API)
- Interest and initiatives from mobile operators
- The success of contactless payment trials

Next Phase of M2M Market Requires Fusion of Cellular & Short Range RF
The potentially boundless benefits of machine-to-machine communications (m2m) are still at odds with both expensive network transport and the exorbitant process of integrating m2m modules into the machines they will monitor, according to a new Wireless Enterprise Strategies report from Strategy Analytics. This report affirms that while cellular is an inherent m2m enabler and has become more reliable, widespread and secure than ever, even the lowest achievable per-sensor price points over cellular alone will prove to be prohibitively costly for many applications. more
