  One of the issues that many people face when they make a big purchase is they often don't understand all of the costs that may be involved once they make that purchase. Take your first car as an example....once you buy it, you have to insure it, maintain it, fill it up with gas […]

Ok, as much as I have been in sales for a long time, there is still a big part of me that will always be a nerd.  In fact, three of the people I idolize most are men who came from the world of science. The first one is Thomas Edison, whom most of us know […]

In the past, I have written how M2M increases productivity. Quite simply, workers will do more with less when: you give them better access to information they can do more work over the air (as opposed to on-site) you make it easier to complete paperwork I enjoyed this article in Bloomberg which highlights much of the gains […]

In Part 1 of this blog post, we focused on some of the key applications and uses of M2M in a “smart home”, as well as how a real-life example may work in the future.  In this post, we focus more on some of the challenges that stand in the way of every home becoming a “smart […]
