Qualcomm RF360 M2M is the abbreviated form of "Machine-to-Machine". The term is used to refer to machine-to-machine communication, i.e., automated data exchange between machines. M2M technology will increasingly underpin key areas of the economy, for example, the smart (green) grid, networked homes, healthcare in the home and transportation (usage-based auto insurance and the emergency eCall system for cars). Numerous opportunities are opening up for vendors, solution providers, systems integrators, and MNOs. M2M concepts are ideal for forming the basis of solutions for a large number of tasks, particularly in vertical markets.
