The place where M2M router experts connect with you

The relationship between M2M and nature brings results which are very satisfactory. This is not only because machine-to-machine technology contributes toward a more sustainable world, but because many devices are designed specifically to protect the environment.

There are many examples of this collaboration which we have talked about many a time on our blog, such as technologies to protect endangered animals and to fight against illegal tree cutting. Another one is the help that M2M router can provide toward battling forest fires, one of the most dramatic issues in this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere.

It is impossible to avoid fires, be it because of natural causes or be it due to human intervention. The challenge is to extinguish it as soon as possible, before it becomes a tragedy. What M2M systems can do here is to give the authorities with sensors and camera networks that alert in real time when the fire starts, its magnitude and the areas the flames will probably extend to.

Since smoke is one of the visibles signals of a fire, cameras only have to detect it to locate the flames. The previous requisite is that they have to know what smoke is. There are mathematical applications which achieve this. The next challenge is to spread an extensive network of cameras in towers into a natural park to monitor the situation.

This is what the U.S. Forest Service and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection did. "Our system now helps to protect over 31 million acres of private and public forests in California," said James Cinquini, president of Vicom, the company responsible for this technology.

In addition to cameras, there are many sensors that can help detect and control a fire. By deploying sensors in a forest, we can find measure elements such as the temperature, humidity, wind and smoke in a given location, so that firemen can be aware of where a fire is taking place and where it will spread to according to these indicators.

M2M in aeroplanes: security and more

Security is one of the most important variables for any mode of transportation but it gains even more relevance in aviation. M2M(industrial wireless router) technology plays a fundamental part in the safest means of transportation which complements more traditional maintenance and alert systems.

Flying has specially meticulous and consolidated security processes. Each advancement must be absolutely reliable in order to be integrated into the planes. This is one of the challenges for machine-to-machine technology.

Dozens of sensors around all the plane can offer very valuable information which not only avoid accidents, but also save time in the maintenance, something critical in scales for carriers’ rentability and passengers’ comfort.

High accuracy GPS, temperature, pressure, humidity, accelerometer, shock, vibration and motion are some of the parameters that the Sentry tracking system can measure. This is a solution is that it has been certified as safe to use on aircraft.

The possibilities of M2M on aircrafts was very well explained by Bill Ruh, vice-president for software at GE Research, in Computerweekly: “A GE engine on an aircraft could alert ground engineers when the plane has landed, through its social network of engineer friends. Potentially, this would allow the engineers to be alerted that the aircraft is on the ground, so the ground team can carry out any maintenance that the engine has alerted them about through status updates.”

Furthermore, M2M technology not only offers a faster and more efficient maintenance of the aircrafts, but also flight possibilities that were very complex to reach until now. A good example is how it has let planes fly over Polar Regions for the first time. A new satellite communications company will provide data service for air traffic control communications when flying across oceans and over the Polar Regions.

M2M advances in aviation also has to do with flight automatization. Some days ago, a bat-winged experimental Navy drone executed landings on an aircraft carrier which had never before been done.
