M2M

M2M communications generate significant volumes of data traffic. This is expected to grow dramatically in the coming years. Much of this data is non-critical and not real-time, but, amongst this, there is also data that does have real-time requirements. Network operators need to be able to aggregate M2M traffic and prioritise that which is real-time. M2M traffic also needs to be protected from other data streams on shared links.

This problem is compounded in areas of variable mobile coverage. Real-time M2M data from mobile sources must also be secured and protected against contention with other data streams, particularly when there are constraints on bandwidth or variable transmission quality.

The solution is to deploy GoS Agent in M2M gateways, to perform prioritisation of traffic before it is transmitted to the network. With GoS Manager installed in the network, each in-service gateway can be managed individually to ensure consistent, reliable transmission of real-time M2M data streams.

Enhancing M2M gateways with GoS Agent and deploying GoS Manager enables network operators to:

• Protect revenue generating services
• Reduce service assurance costs
• Increase service profitability
• Run M2M services across shared links with guaranteed quality
• Reduce costs through efficient network optimisation and management
• Generate revenue with assured, sticky services

GoS 360° provides the only way in which network operators can accurately prioritise real-time M2M traffic at source, before it traverses the network.
