Each IDATE market report details the structures and issues at play in the market under study, the driving forces (technologies, regulation, and consumption) and the players involved. Particular emphasis is placed on market assessments and forecasts, which are developed within the framework of a core scenario. Every market report features a clear and concise presentation illustrated with tables and graphs of key market data and trends.
The drafting process of a market report is based on the following steps:
• analysis of the information available in the in-house databases, and review of analyses performed in the recent past;
• based on a preliminary segmentation and assessment of the market, and as part of an validated interview guide, analysts conduct interviews that enable them to validate working hypotheses;
• a market model is then developed, to enable testing of the hypotheses which impact market development, and the model is validated after a new round of interviews;
• and, finally, report conclusions are debated within the team responsible for the project and with expert consultants from the various fields involved;
• proofreading and editing/revision processes, prior to the editing of the final version of the report which is delivered to the client.
Report coverage
The definition used for M2M in this report will be the one that covers the concept of 'communicating devices'. M2M refers to automated communications (both programmed and/or triggered by a man-induced event) that involve at least one remote device which is not a commonly-used information device such as a computer, telephone or TV. This, therefore, involves exchanges between several machines without any human intervention in the chain of communication. An application or service can also be called M2M if it involves communication with at least one machine whose primary feature or value is not communication and/or Internet access, and can thus work without any network connection, as with a car or a meter. In that sense, M2M can include consumer electronics (CE) applications where connectivity is not the primary value. Here, connectivity is seen as an enabler of such CE applications as e-readers or connected Portable Navigation Devices (PND). However, netbooks and mobile devices such as the iPad are excluded. M2M is not, itself, a technology, but rather a logical combination of different technologies based on electronics (such as sensors, RFID and modems), telecommunications (as with GPRS, WiFi, SMS and Internet) and computing (of the likes of XML and information systems), all of which makes it possible to build new services. Here, the M2M scope is restricted to cellular M2M. M2M solutions allow a central server (operated automatically or manually) to communicate with a group of distant machines, via a private, public or operated access network. The purpose generally is to capture data that is stored on the machine and/or to send data to alter the state of the machine. Remote monitoring enabled by M2M can involve the machine itself, a person (equipped with a device) or an object. Whilst this report speaks primarily of machines, the term could in fact refer to an indicator (such as temperature or speed), a person or an object become a communicating device by the addition of sensors or ID components. This report provides market and data analysis, but does not focus on the technology itself. Additionally, it does not cover the Internet of Things. A dedicated report on the topic 'RFID and Internet of Things' is currently available at the IDATE bookstore.

M2M products can also be categorised under the following main applications:
• Fleet management: Based in large part on global positioning packages, these solutions enable (usually real-time) tracking of the position of objects or mobile equipment. The goal then is to have real-time control over locations and to be able to optimise travel and routes.
• Remote monitoring: These solutions – mostly one-way communication systems from the machine to the server – can serve several purposes. For vendors or machine installers in an open environment (at customer premises, for example), the goal is chiefly one of preventive maintenance for their customers. They can thus be alerted to technical problems with the machines through an alert system. For uses in a closed environment, coupled with maintenance in some cases (which the company does not necessarily handle directly), the main goal is to ensure operational control over the fleet of machines (rate of operation, raw material consumption), and to gather commercial data, particularly on consumption related to the machine, either at regular intervals or when an alert threshold has been exceeded.
• Info mobility: While other systems mostly retrieve information from the machine and dispatch it to the central server, these solutions look for the relevant part of the mass of information that is available on the Web (public or private databases) that can be associated with a product in a mobility context.
• Monetics: These solutions make it possible to automate financial streams either in full or partially, generally from a company's distant site to a financial institution or a customer account. These are usually replacements for existing payment solutions, and they are generally implemented to save time and process more customers.
Other main segmentations include:
• Geography: the market is typically different for each geographical region (US, Asia, Europe) even if offerings have to be international or trans-regional in nature as applications are spread worldwide, often in mobile contexts. This demands specific solutions. Indeed, some usages differ from location to location throughout the world. For instance, mobile payment is definitely more widespread in Asia (notably Korea and Japan) and pricing and package typologies are thus completely different from European ones. • Networking technology: multiple technologies are used in M2M, more or less meeting vertical requirements. In this report, IDATE focuses on wireless technologies only. For instance, home automation applications will primarily use short-range technologies whereas homeland security will favour satellite communications. However, cellular technologies (2G and 3G) remain widespread.
