M2M is defined as a technology that enables electronic and mechanical devices to communicate with each other seamlessly and perform actions without human intervention. M2M (machine to machine) leverages innovations in micro computing and wireless technology that allow embedded devices to collect and distribute real-time data and has the potential to connect millions of machines today, and even more in the near future.

M2M has become an integral part of IOT. It has open new streams of revenue to be grabbed. Many Telecom Operators have launched new services based on M2M communication. Vodafone started its M2M services in 2013 with the launch of Remote Monitoring & Control Service (RMCS). It also provides global SIM card to support M2M applications around the globe.
