Reliability and efficiency are threads running through M2M platforms, mHealth and security

The editor of M2M Now, Jeremy Cowan

One of the challenges at M2M Now magazine is squeezing into a single issue as much as we can on diverse industry verticals. We’ve tried it again this month, incorporating features on mobile health and telemedicine, securing the Internet of Things (IoT), assessing the growing importance of platforms in bringing efficiencies to the roll-out of new machine-to-machine (M2M) services, and examining the role of Women in IoT.

Any one of these topics would have been enough to fill the magazine, but with so many important industry trends we wanted to keep you in touch with all of the latest thinking. In this edition’s M2M Now Insight Report, Andy Castonguay, principal analyst at Machina Research, analyses how M2M communications are improving healthcare efficiencies (see pages 22-30). Meanwhile, M2M platform suppliers are using the cloud to enhance their customers’ operations, as Antony Savvas reports exclusively (58-59). VDC Research’s Chris Rommel talks to Gemalto’s Laetitia Jay about how we must protect the end users of M2M services amid the growing intelligence of embedded systems (35-37). Don’t miss our analysis of the strengthening role of women in the internet of Things. We have 10 great interviews (12-18) starting with one pioneer, Gilli Coston, Wyless’s EMEA managing director. And we hear from Nigel Chadwick how a new connectivity platform is becoming an IoT ecosystem that boosts service margins, before diving into the wider role of Platforms (49-65).

Finally, we are delighted to announce the appointment of Alun Lewis, one of the communication industry’s most globally respected journalists and writers, as Editor of
M2M Now magazine, as I move into a new role as Digital Editor-in-Chief. Alun brings a wealth of experience in all communications sectors, a keen intellect and a sense of excitement
about this industry’s possibilities that matches our own. Contact him at: alun@dev-iotnow.hekko24.pl. I look forward to meeting you in my new role, and know that your magazine could not be in safer hands.
