M2M: Transforming The World We Live In

Online, October 26, 2011 (Newswire.com) - An interview of Wyless CEO, Dan McDuffie by Jeremy Cowan, editor of M2M Now magazine. The article appeared in the July- September 2011 edition.

Jeremy Cowan, M2M Now: What are the emerging trends that are most likely to affect the M2M industry during the next couple of years?

Dan McDuffie, Wyless: In M2M, the value chain is being compressed and as a result both MNOs and MVNOs are becoming more end-to-end in their service offerings. The MNOs themselves have woken up to the huge opportunities of M2M and are now making it much easier for partners to onboard onto their networks, but time-to-market can be high and supply chain complexities still exist.

Increasing globalization is revealing significant levels of complexity for ASPs, large enterprises and OEMs seeking to take their products and services around the world. No matter what anyone says, there is no viable single-operator global SIM today. In fact, we are becoming increasingly multi-operator as time goes by, especially as more and more MNOs jump in with their own M2M service offerings.

The leaders in the space will be the ones who can successfully navigate this complexity and turn it into an asset for their partners.
