M2M application standardization(such as smart home, vehicle surveillance)and platform construction with operators' network advantages, M2M service brings operators with bigger profits. On the other hand, M2M service limitation for enterprise customers and individual users is reduced as the operators bear the construction investment and risks, so as to promote M2M application development.
Value chain of mobile M2M is composed of industry customer, application developer, wireless terminal supplier and mobile network operator.In recent years, mobile M2M services are developing in a fast speed, but some problems are also exposed in all aspects. To solve the problems above, ZTE proposes operators to establish M2M service support platform firstly.
ZTE M2M Solution
ZTE has various product line such as terminal, module, M2M platform, video surveillance, RFID, and WCDMA, GPRS, core network, etc., which nearly covers all aspects of M2M. Meanwhile, Due to closely involving in both international and domestic standards, ZTE is able to help operators to quickly make specifications. So ZTE can provide end to end M2M solution for the operator to solve the problems and to grasp the opportunities in M2M market.
ZTE M2M solution includes RFID products, M2M modules, M2M service support platform and applications.
M2M service system is composed on M2M platform, bearing standardized application system and EC application system. Standardized application system and EC application system connect to the platform through API and interacts with terminals through M2M platform.
