The race is on for the IoT, but management solutions are required

The Internet of Things (IoT), also known as Machine to Machine (M2M), presents a number of challenges for automotive companies as they seek to offer a global experience while providing local flexibility on pricing for connectivity.

To tackle these problems, the Global M2M association (GMA) has launched a solution which will allow businesses to develop products that can be shipped anywhere in the world while being managed centrally, enabling them to take advantage of M2M at a reduced cost.
