Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communication Over GPRS Networks

Wireless Packet Data networks, such as GPRS, hold great promise for applications that rely on machine to machine (M2M) communication. Widespread availability and low price per Kilobyte are two key benefits of GPRS networks that make it an attractive technology to replace existing equipment or to deploy new wireless solutions. GPRS technology does, however, carry certain challenges when implementing M2M communication that has marred wireless developers in the past. The Setrix Internet-Ready Gateway (SIRG) is a companion product to the Setrix GPRS-enabled S-372X-series embedded systems.
