Technology hub

IoT and M2M

Connecting machines, sensors and equipment rather than people: telemetry, data collection, tracking and managing fleets of devices in the field. M2M is where we started, and it is still most of what we do.

Explore IoT and M2M

IoT and M2M projects share a few needs that office networking does not: devices run unattended for years, often on low power, in places that are hard to visit. They need to recover on their own when something goes wrong, and someone needs to see and manage them from a distance.

That means industrial routers and gateways with connection monitoring, serial and I/O for equipment, LoRaWAN for battery sensors, GNSS for things that move, and a remote management platform such as Teltonika RMS to keep a fleet up to date. On the SIM side, multi-network and low-data plans keep running costs sensible.

Start with our IoT gateways, the explainer on routers, gateways and modems, and MQTT on Teltonika devices.

Topics in this hub

  • LoRaWAN: Long-range, low-power radio for battery sensors, with a gateway sending the data over cellular or Ethernet.
  • GNSS and GPS: Location from GPS and other satellite systems for vehicles and moving assets, built into many industrial routers.
  • Remote management: Cloud management for monitoring, configuring and updating routers in the field, so problems are fixed without a site visit.

Talk to an M2M and IoT connectivity specialist. Not sure which technology fits your project? Tell us what you need to connect and where, and our UK team will recommend the router, antenna and SIM, with pre-sales advice, after-sales technical support and a range of configuration options.

Questions

What is the difference between IoT and M2M?

M2M usually means one machine talking to a known system, such as a meter reporting to a utility. IoT is the broader idea of many connected devices feeding data to cloud platforms. The hardware and connectivity are largely the same.

How do I manage hundreds of devices?

With a remote management platform. Teltonika RMS lets you monitor, configure and update a whole fleet of routers and gateways from one dashboard.
