 Report Linker has released a new Wireless M2M forecast for the north american Market. In one of my previous posts I had mentioend that the home security market would be a big driver for the M2M space in the near future. This report seems to reinforce that notion
“There are about 32 million monitored alarm systems in North America and the population of POS-terminals is estimated to 15 million. Both types of devices are today predominantly connected to fixed line networks. In the case of security alarms, cellular networks can serve a vital role as backup communication links. POS-terminals become more versatile with cellular connectivity and in some cases dedicated fixed lines can be replaced by cellular connections also at fixed locations. ”
