Utilising telemetry solutions in scientific and business applications has been long-standing but the development of pervasive networks and enhanced telecom is primed to propel telemetry and M2M onto the centre stage, finding an invisible role in the lives of consumers and day-to-day practices of business users.

The success and learnings of telemetry and M2M solutions will hold exciting promise, moving beyond their initial specialised usage and expanding into new fields and markets that seek to embrace a greater degree of automated decision making.
