WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IOT AND M2M?

What is the difference between IoT and M2M?

The difference between M2M and IoT are as follows.

M2M is basically communication between a machine or a device with a remote computer.

There are three processes involved in the M2M as mentioned below:

  • It connects the device to the cloud.
  • Manage the device.
  • Collects the machine and/or sensor data.

IoT goes beyond the M2M periphery and it basically represents things connecting with the systems, people, and other things.

M2M can be taken as a integral to the IoT. IoT is bigger than M2M.
