What is M2M for the Internet of Things

My general understanding of M2M is machine to machine, peer-to-peer machine linking. Conceptually, it can also be understood as Man to Man and Man to Machine. Instant messaging tools are human-to-human interaction, human-computer interaction operation, machine and machine interaction Now Internet technology can achieve these technologies. In fact, human-computer interaction, machine and machine interaction is to achieve human interaction.

IoT technology of the Internet of Things has higher scalability than M2M, and IOT focuses on the Internet of Everything, interconnected through standard IoT protocols. M2M needed to create point-to-point links for each device, adding network setup and maintenance. M2M's wireless devices are mainly used in in-vehicle devices for transport vehicles, as well as personal wearables and handheld devices, including smart watches and personal tracking devices. The link of IOT devices is mainly used to collect sensor data in industrial scenarios.

Divide it from a hardware perspective. IoT equipment of the Internet of Things mainly uses MCU microcontroller equipment to collect low-cost sensor acquisition data, and is used as an Internet of Things ecosystem-related acquisition application in the industrial field. M2M devices mainly use embedded Linux development technology, mainly electronic consumer products, linking people to people for human purposes.

The development of the Internet of Things is divided into the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan region, the southwest region, the Pearl River Delta region and the Yangtze River Delta region. Among them, the Yangtze River Delta and pearl river delta regions are mainly developing M2M platforms, which are mainly used in production process monitoring, industrial command and dispatch, remote industrial data collection and telemedicine diagnosis and other industry applications.
