M2M is a fast growing technology that, according to new research, will reach revenues of $18.9 billion globally by 2014.

 

Another recent report from Berg Insight also found that wireless machine-to-machine connections are accounting for 1.4 percent of the total mobile network connections worldwide.

 

Now, a group of established veterans in the M2M market have come together to launch a new company that is focused on providing companies with the design, development and certification needed to bring M2M devices to market.

 

The newly formed company, “Connected Development,” according to an RCR Wireless News report, is aimed at simplifying the wireless development cycle and remove barriers to creation of wireless innovations that better business and better living.

 

Forming the new company are Stefan Lindvall, who serves as the president and conceived the concept, as well as Dave Hoover, vice president, Research & Development and Ross Brown, vice president, Validation & Certification Services.

 

“The service Connected Development is offering is exactly what many of our partners in the M2M marketplace are looking for – namely, the expertise to handle any or all of the process required to go from concept to commercialization,” said Marc Eisenberg, CEO of ORBCOMM (News - Alert), a provider of global satellite and cellular data communications solutions purpose-built for M2M.

 

“All too often, we have seen ideas for connecting assets in new and exciting ways fail to make the jump from idea to finished product. We expect that having a firm like Connected Development on board will be a great asset in helping our partners bring their ideas to market,” Eisenberg said.
