M2M communication
Which network suits your IoT facility? Wired or wireless?
Machinery in modern facilities relies on data more than operators to function. This reliance on data has sharply risen with the introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT) in manufacturing operations. IoT devices enable machine-to-machine (M2M) communication where devices in your facility can share information. IoT also enables the communication between devices and cloud computing
