<strong>M2M</strong> development<strong>M2M</strong> in three phasesby Hugues Sévérac, VP for <strong>M2M</strong> and Internet of Things, Orange Business Services<strong>M2M</strong> seems likely to evolve through three phases. Today, <strong>the</strong> first phase is characterised <strong>M2M</strong>improving existing processes, in fields such as equipment asset tracking, remote monitoringand fleet management and smart meters. Next, <strong>the</strong> ‘connected society’, will bring moreintense connections between people and machines in healthcare and in <strong>the</strong> automotive sectorwhere ‘black boxes’ will be required by law on all new European automotive vehicles. Thethird <strong>M2M</strong> phase, ‘virtual things’, will help us interact with everyday objects.Hugues Sévérac is <strong>the</strong> Vice President for <strong>M2M</strong> and Internet of Things at Orange Business Services; he has had extensive experiencelaunching innovative services on <strong>the</strong> Internet and in multi-national e-commerce. Mr Sévérac has occupied various managing positions inhigh growth startups, pioneered e-commerce at <strong>the</strong> L’Oréal Group, and launched VoIP for France Telecom.Hugues Sévérac graduated from Ecole Polytechnique, IEP Paris and ENSAE.In recent years, Machine-to-Machine(<strong>M2M</strong>) has attracted a lot of <strong>hype</strong> due to<strong>the</strong> new opportunities it promises to offerbusinesses, as well as its potential to change<strong>the</strong> way we live our lives. Much of <strong>the</strong> prerequisiteinfrastructure required for <strong>M2M</strong>to proliferate is already here. The McKinseyconsultancy suggested in 2010 that everyobject, from our cars to washing machines,should have microprocessors with <strong>the</strong> abilityto communicate embedded.Despite this, <strong>the</strong>re has recently been a debateas to whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>M2M</strong> has truly moved <strong>beyond</strong><strong>the</strong> <strong>hype</strong>. Yet <strong>the</strong>re have been a myriad ofapplications suggesting that <strong>M2M</strong> is verymuch alive.The global <strong>M2M</strong> market as a whole, isnascent, but expanding rapidly. Accordingto Berg Insight, a <strong>M2M</strong> dedicated researchhouse, 140 million cellular <strong>M2M</strong> deviceswere active globally in 2012. The GSMAestimates that global <strong>M2M</strong> revenue willincrease at a compound annual growth rateof 23 per cent from 2010 to 2020, reaching714 billion Euros. We have characterisedthis evolutionary process in three distinctphases. The first phase is characterised byorganisations using <strong>M2M</strong> to improve existingprocesses, reduce inefficiencies and enablesome vertical offerings in fields such asequipment, asset tracking, remote monitoringand fleet management.There are already a number of organisations,particularly in B2B sectors, which arealready realising <strong>the</strong> benefits of <strong>M2M</strong>.Openmatics, a manufacturer of an opentelematics platform already delivers aservice that lets transport companiestrack <strong>the</strong>ir trucks and buses remotely viaan on-board unit embedded with <strong>M2M</strong>connectivity services.Data recorded and received by <strong>the</strong> on-boardunit is transmitted over a network between<strong>the</strong> vehicles and a Web-supported portal. Withthis service, <strong>the</strong> location and status of trucksand busses can be monitored anywhere, apps,configurations and media files can be sent to<strong>the</strong> vehicles anytime.Whilst enabling fleet operators to plan andmanage <strong>the</strong>ir businesses more efficientlyproved to offer direct benefits, <strong>M2M</strong>now becomes a catalyst for innovation.Openmatics’ open platform ambition is toenable third party companies and vehiclemanufacturers to develop <strong>the</strong>ir ownEurope II 2013 • 27
