3G/4G Wireless Mobile Broadband Networks for Machine to Machine - M2M

Machine to Machine - M2M

Delivering in-the-machine reliability for in-the-field devices.
Reliable remote networking has never been simpler.

Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications have revolutionized the way many companies operate, dramatically reducing costs and improving accuracy by automating communications between central systems and remote devices – and thus eliminating the need for people to intervene. That makes ease of use and reliability absolutely critical. If the technology doesn’t go in quickly and easily, and perform as promised, the results can be quite costly.

Challenge: Keeping costs down and reliability up
From automated transactions at DVD kiosks to remote energy-meter reading, success with M2M depends on easy low-cost installation and reliable day-to-day operations. The need for a wireless alternative – Sure, you can get a wired network into some M2M environments, but it’ll cost you. And in some places, like retail kiosks, a wired connection isn’t even possible.

• The need for a reliable solution – Just one incident of unreliability can undermine the whole cost advantage of M2M. Consider the cost to a retail installation if it goes offline and can’t process credit card transactions in real time.
• The need to scale – 3G has its limits, especially as demand for M2M grows. To ensure long-term reliable service, carriers must be able to support more connections than 3G can currently handle.

Solution: M2M from CradlePoint
CradlePoint provides off-the-shelf ease of use coupled with industry-leading reliability and scalability for M2M environments. CradlePoint gives you the ability to easily set up an M2M network anywhere, regardless of space constraints or other connectivity challenges – and to keep it running reliably day in and day out, with little or no effort on your part.

Benefits: Easy to roll out and keep running
Keeping it simple and scalable: That’s the key to low-cost, long-term M2M reliability from CradlePoint.

• Off-the-shelf simplicity – CradlePoint’s off-the-shelf, ready-to-work solution eliminates the cost and hassle of developing M2M technology solutions in-house.
• Multiple-network interoperability – CradlePoint offers M2M networking that works with any carrier’s 3G / 4G network, without any special configuration or other setup requirements.
• 4G scalability – CradlePoint supports 4G, and 4G supports more simultaneous connections than today’s 3G networks, enabling carriers to better offer constant Internet connectivity for M2M applications.
