Peggy Smedley sits down with Roger Dewey — former President & CEO of Telit Wireless Solutions — to discuss the launch of his new independent consulting firm, M2Mv. Roger explains why M2M technology has moved beyond its complex early days and is now ready to deliver real business value for enterprises. He makes the case that companies should stop thinking about M2M as a technology project and start treating it as a strategic business transformation — especially in a tough economic environment where efficiency and productivity gains matter most. Roger also touches on the opportunity in fleet management, energy efficiency, greenhouse gas reduction, and the booming subprime auto sector.

Peggy Smedley, host of M2M Radio and editor of M2M Magazine, sits down with Ed Burks, Chief Marketing Officer of KORE Telematics, for an in-depth conversation about the state and future of the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) industry.

Ed shares his insights on the rapid growth of the M2M market — with analyst firms like ABI and Berg projecting 35–45% annual growth — and how M2M adoption is becoming critical to businesses' competitive success.

The conversation also tackles how M2M is weathering economic uncertainty heading into 2009, why ROI-driven and regulatory-mandated applications continue to thrive, and what KORE's newly formed M2M Global Alliance means for multinational deployments.

Topics covered:

• The growth and maturation of the M2M market
• KORE Telematics' services, Prism gateway platform, and partner model
• M2M's resilience amid economic headwinds
• The M2M Global Alliance and international expansion
• What's next for KORE in 2009

Peggy Smedley sits down with Andy Berman, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Sierra Wireless Mobile and M2M Products, to discuss the rapid global expansion of the M2M (machine-to-machine) industry. Andy shares how the merger of AirLink and Sierra Wireless created a stronger, more diverse product portfolio, and breaks down the company's growth across product lines, market segments, and regions including EMEA, Latin America, and Asia Pacific. The conversation covers distribution channel strategy, key customer success stories in fleet management and utility metering, the role of 3G network rollout in driving adoption, differences between North American and international markets, and Andy's bullish outlook on the future of M2M — including embedded technology, geographic expansion, and the fragmented-yet-collaborative value chain that defines the space.
