When I first started focusing on the M2M field many years ago, I found it very difficult to explain to people what I actually did.  When I explained how we facilitated communication from remote assets, it brought on different reactions.  For some, they found it way too difficult to understand, while others must have watched […]

One of the biggest macro-economic trends out there is the move towards moving from the use of non-renewable sources of energy (namely fossil fuels) to cleaner sources of energy (ranging from wind to solar to hydro-electric and even nuclear).  Besides the obvious reasons (namely that the use of carbon-based fuels can have an impact on […]

As a child, it was impossible to live without “the wire”, whether this wire was to provide a feed into your television or to allow you a connection to the outside world via your phone.  There was no Internet for consumer use at this stage….yes, I do feel old. As we progressed into the Internet […]

While M2M is not new to many key areas of the manufacturing world (car companies have put in remote diagnostic systems in their vehicles for a while), it is starting to emerge as a way for companies to improve their bottom line.  For the purposes of this discussion, M2M can be done wirelessly, using a […]

Watch our new Vlog post on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iDKAcd4_ao As someone who grew up in the 1980’s, I was a fan of David Letterman.  One of his favourite bits was his nightly Top 10 list.  The list was usually topical in nature and it brought some laughter to justify staying up that late.  Well, I can’t […]
