M2M (machine to machine) networking for remote device management is now already well advanced across all major industry sectors, according to a new survey of early adopters just published by Harbor Research Inc., the world's leading provider of strategic consulting and research services for the fast-developing M2M/Pervasive Internet sector.
During July and August 2007, Harbor Research conducted an international, sponsored survey of early adopters of device networking, aimed mainly at product manufacturers. The purpose of the
study was to determine how important to their future business they consider network-enabled products. Thanks to the support of its sponsors, the report is available for free download at
Harbor Research's website: http://harborresearch.com/harbor/index.phpoption=com_papers
Sponsors for this research were drawn from across the M2M solution landscape and are non-competing. They were: Air Products/Skychain (supply chain solutions), Kore Telematics (US-based
network provider), Lantronix (LAN, WLAN modules), Maingate (Sweden-based network provider), M2M Alliance (trade association, Germany), O2 (UK-based mobile operator), Orbcomm (satellite
