Here is an interesting question? Can you think of an M2M application that could use a fat pipe? Verizon Wireless (News - Alert) can.

At the Real Time Communications show at the Illinois Institute of Technology last week, Chris Mayer, VP of Verizon Wireless, spoke of an application that allowed TV stations to send HD Video back to the studio over VZW’s LTE (News - Alert) network. Mayer suggested that HD cameras could include the radio in the future making this more common.

This application is probably not the only one, which is why Verizon has the Venture Capital group looking for applications that they can invest in. A key goal is to find the differentiators in the market of M2M verticals.

Personally, video seems to be a key ingredient to using the bandwidth that comes to my mind. I have a friend who works with the world’s fastest speed cameras. Most of his applications have been in military use, but he has often felt that medical was a logical market.

Given the ubiquity of Verizon’s 4G LTE network, could the deployment of high-speed cameras become more commonplace for surveillance? 

Perhaps there are some speed solutions that could also apply? High speed transactions, for example, or new releases of files or programs.

Verizon has been leading the pack of LTE deployers and is looking to gather the devices onto their network. At the core they are close to having their third interoperable LTE vendor and on the edge they have numerous devices.

If you have an idea and want to get some feedback from Verizon here is the site to do it.

And as a word of warning, you may want to see what they have already done.

It’s pretty impressive and they are moving pretty fast.
