M2M – The Industry While I can’t imagine that anyone does not recognize one of the most famous quotes in history, the title of this blog is a play on the famous line said by Neil Armstrong when he stepped foot on the moon over 40 years ago. For a lot of people, it was […]

"Honey, there is a killer drone at the door for you..."
M2M – The Industry I remember a few years back when I seemed to have lost track of time as we got close to Christmas. My wife was constantly reminding me very aggressively (a.k.a. “nagging me”) to remember to order a toy for our oldest son. As it turned out, her “nagging” was quite justified […]

If we go back to 1999, do I get my lost hair back?
M2M – The Industry There are certain sounds in my life that I am glad I don’t have to hear any more. I remember the screeching of nails on a chalk board….I remember the awful noise that my mom’s antique mixer would make (not to mention that the shielding was so bad on that thing, […]

A single place for health/fitness data ... maybe a good idea after all?
M2M – The Industry You may have read my colleague’s (Richard Hobbs) latest rant, where he talks about how security is in our numbers.

#M2M In The Wide World Of Sports
Hello and thanks for reading. This one is from a request from a reader who had wanted to help explain M2M to their sports-loving father-in-law. I hope it helped! When one thinks of M2M, the usual thinking is that M2M is only used for business applications. While many of the early adoption of M2M technology […]

"Talk to Your Devices" for Best Field Service Outcomes
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 […]

Managing an M2M solution, Part 1
A while back, I started hearing about how IBM is working to standardize communication in the world of M2M (through the promotion of the MQTT protocol), and it got me excited.
