Machine To Machine
This technology is also used in a number of machine to machine applications where devices communicate with one another, for example in vehicle tracking systems, amongst other things, where complete network coverage is required but can only be achieved by using all the available networks. A roaming SIM, for example provided in the US by Neometry, can switch to any network, ensuring the best coverage. The cheap calls associated with Roaming SIMS are also paramount to enable certain machine to machine applications to be economically viable. It is anticipated that our exposure to Roaming SIMS, applied in a range of scenarios, will become prevalent as more and more applications for them are brought to market.

Famous quotes containing the word machine:
“But a man must keep an eye on his servants, if he would not have them rule him. Man is a shrewd inventor, and is ever taking the hint of a new machine from his own structure, adapting some secret of his own anatomy in iron, wood, and leather, to some required function in the work of the world. But it is found that the machine unmans the user. What he gains in making cloth, he loses in general power.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
