	M2M communication could be carried over mobile networks (e.g. GSM-GPRS, CDMA EVDO networks). In the M2M communication, the role of mobile [[network]] is largely confined to serve as a transport network. With a potential market of probably 50 million connected devices, M2M offers tremendous opportunities as well as unique challenges.

−	M2M technologies typically use sensors to capture data that is fed through networks, providing critical input to various types of machines that perform different tasks. Although a broad term, M2M usually refers to the use of these distributed systems to control industrial or manufacturing equipment. One such [[system]] is telemetry, which uses radio waves to facilitate this type of communication between devices. Those discussing the history of M2M systems may point to the evolution of new smart meter utility systems, automotive technologies and the integration of more intelligent networking systems with a broader variety of machines and appliances. The emergence of new models, like Web-distributed [[software]], is also helping M2M technologies evolve and gain ground within manufacturing and industrial industries.<ref>Explaining Machine to Machine (M2M) [https://www.techopedia.com/definition/14962/machine-to-machine-m2m Techopedia]</ref>	+	M2M technologies typically use sensors to capture data that is fed through networks, providing critical input to various types of machines that perform different tasks.

	Many big cell operators, like AT&T and Verizon, see this potential and are rolling out their own M2M platforms. Intel, PTC, and Wipro are are all marketing heavily in M2M and working to take advantage of this major industry growth spurt. But there is still a great opportunity for new technology companies to engage in highly automated solutions to help streamline processes in nearly any type of industry. We’re certain we’ll see a huge influx of companies who begin to innovate in this area in the next five years.

 Multiple local subnets using different communication standards can communicate with each other using some gateway which provides Internet connectivity or a similar backhaul network. The gateway typically interfaces with at least one device on each subnet to which it is connected, and is also connected to other gateways. An end-user can connect to a server to access information collected from the M2M data collectors. This server may be connected to the Internet or some other backhaul network. The function of the M2M server is to perform final processing tasks on the collected data, to store the data, log the transactions that occurred and to make the data available online to the various users of the M2M system.

 *Security: Security functions include the protection and confidentiality of M2M data, authentication of users prior to access to M2M devices, and encryption of the data transferred across M2M networks. Knowing that utilities desire private LMR networks for their higher levels of security provides a strong platform that can be leveraged when using the same security for M2M applications.
 *Latency Tolerant: Latency is a time interval between the stimulation and response. When leveraging a LMR network for M2M the target applications should be those that aren’t latency sensitive. The general one-way latency of an LMR network is approximately 1 second. Those polled applications or reports by exception-based applications that don’t require immediate responses measured in milliseconds but rather in seconds are target applications for M2M over LMR.

 Beyond such basic workings of the device and automated communication across a network comprised of installed devices, many blockchain-based projects are being launched to harness the power of such commonly used appliances. For instance, the processors and memory modules fitting in these IoT devices can be utilized for cryptocurrency mining and transaction authentication activities. Projects like IOTA, IoT Chain, and IOTW are attempting to harness the power and resources for their blockchain projects, which otherwise lies idle much of the time.
