The spread of smart and IoT devices also leads to an increase in communication channels, such as machine-to-machine (M2M), vehicle-to-everything (V2X), device-to-device (D2D), human-to-machine. Communication models differ in the connectivity technologies they use from hardware to software. Communication models are combined under include next-generation WiFi & Bluetooth, which are the basis for new products and technologies for a wide range of companies – from large banks and car manufacturers to startups and scaleups.
Indian startup M2Cloud creates device-to-cloud (D2C) solutions. They produce both simple and advanced vehicle tracking devices, aimed at creating an intelligent transport system to optimize existing public transport infrastructure.
Additionally, M2Cloud produces wall-mounted sensors, both ultrasonic and infrared, for measuring body temperature. It is especially useful for establishments to check their customers and workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. M2Cloud tracking devices also use eSIMs to easily connect to the cloud.
Angoka is a British startup providing hardware solutions for managing cybersecurity risks inherent in M2M communication networks. The startup aims to improve security for connected and autonomous vehicles, smart city services,electrical grids, and banking networks. The solution provides hardware authentication using a decentralized cryptographic protocol. Angoka’s solution also enables silicon devices fingerprinting based on their physical properties, which then allows for generating cryptographic keys and secure device identity.
