Telefónica Ireland, which operates the O2 brand, has announced a partnership with Jasper Wireless to help Irish companies implement machine-to-machine (M2M) technology across its mobile network.
M2M – or ‘Internet of things’ – allows machines or devices to talk to each other or to a company’s management system. Early adopters of M2M include fleet management and transport companies, who have installed M2M boxes in their vehicles to enable real time location updates.
Jasper Wireless enables M2M deployments by giving customers real time visibility and the ability to manage thousands of connections through one platform. Its Wireless’ Control Centre software-as-a-service platform provides customers with global visibility of all SIMs connected to the mobile network with self-service tools allowing real-time diagnostics and usage controls.
"The uses of M2M technology are huge and growing across almost every industry, from point-of-sale connections to smart meters to utilities device usage," said Alan Brown, business director at Telefónica Ireland (pictured).
He added that the new partnership between Telefónica Ireland and Jasper Wireless will allow organisations to bring to the market powerful and innovative M2M applications and services in a robust and secure way. The partnership is part of a global M2M strategy supported by Telefónica Digital, Telefónica’s new global business division, and has already been rolled out in Spain and the UK.
