Machine-to-Machine (M2M) refers to technologies that allow both wireless and wired systems to communicate with other devices of the same ability. M2M uses a device (such as a sensor or meter) to capture an event (such as temperature, inventory level, etc.), which is relayed through a network (wireless, wired or hybrid) to an application (software program), that translates the captured event into meaningful information (for example, items need to be restocked). This is accomplished through the use of telemetry, the language machines use when in communication with each other. Such communication was originally accomplished by having a remote network of machines relay information back to a central hub for analysis, which would then be rerouted into a system like a personal computer. This book is your ultimate resource for Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication services. Here you will find the most up-to-date information, analysis, background and everything you need to know. In easy to read chapters, with extensive references and links to get you to know all there is to know about Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication services right away, covering: Machine-to-Machine, Outline of communication, A New Concept for Multiphase Encryption Technique, Accreditation in Public Relations, Additive white Gaussian noise, Adequate Information Management in Europe, Alcons, Allen curve, American Scientist Open Access Forum, Anxiety/Uncertainty Management, Association for Business Communication, ASUIsTalking, Asynchronous communication, Asynchronous Communication Mechanism, Asynchrony, Attention work, Audience memory curve, Audience reception, Autocommunication, Aviation light signals, BACnet, Bad apples excuse, Basic Support for Cooperative Work, Behavioral communication, Bell Telephone Company Building (Philadelphia), Bi Yantao, Black sermonic tradition, BLUF (communication), Bohm Dialogue, Brand engagement, Branding national myths and symbols, BROG, Business communication, Call and response, Civil discourse, Closed-ended question, Coherence time (communications systems), Communibiology, Communication, Communication Accommodation Theory, Communication complexity, Communication endpoint, Communication for Development, Communication noise, Communication sciences, Communication studies, Communications training, Communicative ecology, Connected Earth, Contagion effect, Content format, Contra principia negantem non est disputandum, Coordinated Management of Meaning, Coregulation, Cucumis (website), Cultural schema theory, Damaging quotation, Data storage device, Deception, Decision downloading, DELCA, Detection, Development communication, Dissemination, Dissimulation, Dropout (electronics), E-Services, Emotional expression, Emotional intimacy, Emotional labor, Employee silence, End of Message, Eprint, EPrints, Exchange diary, Exformation, Exhibition, Expectancy theory, Face Negotiation Theory, Facilitated communication, Factoid, Feed-forward (Management), Fence insert, Figure and ground (media), Forward-looking statement, Four sides model, Friendship book, Gapminder Foundation, Global network, Global workforce, Graphic communication, Guerrilla communication, Heritage interpretation, History of public relations, History of telecommunication, Host media processing, Human-animal communication, Hybrid mail, Hypercommunicator, Hyperpersonal Model, HYT, IEARN, Improvement plan, Information and communications technology, Information and communication technologies for development, Information and communication technologies for environmental sustainability...and much moreThis book explains in-depth the real drivers and workings of Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication services.
