Implementing Machine-to-Machine (M2M) connectivity via packet-based 2G/3G cellular networks is an attractive option for companies who need to arrange connectivity to their remote devices out there. Why? Instant deployment, global coverage, no distance limitations, cost-effectiveness. With each implementation customers, however, face at least three key problems, which they must solve until the connectivity is up and running. The problems are:

  • As regards to two-way/bidirectional connectivity; how to get fixed IP addresses to the remote devices?
  • What about the data security as the data to/from the remote devices is transferred over insecure public data networks?
  • Is there a need to make changes to the existing systems?

The existence of these problems has led to a situation where most customers simply don't have enough technical expertise to carry out the wireless M2M connectivity project in their hands.

Yet, all they want is an M2M connectivity solution that can be installed and deployed with ease and in a straightforward manner.

Protocol brings to India the Viola M2M Solution which is an install-and-forget-it, hassle-free approach that offers secure end-to-end connectivity for M2M applications. For customers, this means that they finally can just install the remote communications devices, power them up, forget them and continue their business as usual. All the products are robust and of industrial-grade, i.e. designed for industrial applications with harsh and demanding environments in mind.
