M2M for a more welcoming hotel industry

In 2013 a total of 175 million machine-to-machine modules delivered a profit of almost 25 billion dollars, according to the latest edition of M2M Market Report prepared by IDATE. In the next three years that number could climb up to 470 million and the business could reach 40 billion dollars.

M2M technology will expand to all sectors changing the way in which we relate with our homes, work environment or even leisure facilities. In an increasingly global planet where tourism will employ one out of every ten people in the world, we should not lose sight of what M2M could do in the hotel industry.

Till now, M2M technology has found a niche in video surveillance and smart building applications using audio and movement sensors. Fitted with wireless devices, these systems trigger alerts to a centralised security system sending images to the fire-fighters’ department in case of a fire or to the police in case of a robbery.

Modern hotels normally use M2M technology to monitor and manage electricity, air conditioning and other general power resources. They also use it to automate room housekeeping tasks by using a number of devices that are connected to thermostats, lights, door locking systems and other remote controls.

The largest hotel chains are beginning to use M2M technology not only to automate housekeeping activities, but also to make the guests’ life easier and provide them with a more personalised experience.

Through mobile applications, guests can open the doors and blinds of their rooms and adjust the air conditioning system remotely. New innovation projects in the hotel industry, such as THOFU, seek to change even the colour of the rooms’ materials to adapt them to each customer’s own preferences and peculiarities.

M2M has also landed at the points-of-sale terminals enabling payments through vending machines (e.g. to pay for your parking ticket), while facilitating their basic maintenance and the replenishment and collection of coins.

Furthermore, these connected machines, which are integrated with digital signage platforms, can provide guests with additional information, such as the nutrition facts of what they are eating, offers and personalised tourist information, besides videos and multimedia content.

Solutions are currently being developed to automate this type of processes inside rooms, from auto-check-in to the use of the mini bar. The new systems know when some product needs to be replaced and avoid having to count clean and dirt towels, robes and tablecloths by hand.

Many of these applications will be showcased at the Smart Skyscrapers Summit 2014 at the end of April in Dubai. In fact, this event will show the M2M technology that governs some of the most spectacular blocks of offices and hotels on the planet, such as the Marriott Marquis Dubai, the highest building in the world.

Smart watches being a real M2M device

Our modern culture is smartphone addicted, we constantly check notifications on our smartphones and most of us feel anxious when we are disconnected; out of reach from our community including family, friends, colleagues and the World itself.

The smart watches 1.0 as we know them do not bring a life-changing experience as they only work when connected to our smartphones as a Bluetooth companion accessory, slave of your smartphone.

They simply can’t work as a standalone device and become 'dumb' as soon as they are disconnected from their ‘Master’.

Analyst Ben Arnold, Director at NPD recently explained it on CNBC – Figuring out wearable technology: “liberating the smartwatch from the smartphone, consumers want something similar to their device; they don’t want to depend on a device to use a device".

In this regard, GFK released a study based on 1,628 consumers (UK and US) and despite low current ownership, the majority of consumers find the concept of smartwatch appealing but a standalone solution with integrated SIM is the most preferred.

People actually want to be connected anytime, anywhere using the same features and applications as they use every day on their smartphones. People want to be connected in an unobtrusive way during the time they cannot have access to their smartphones. Therefore the devices are aimed to become more independent.

Smartwatch 2.0: full smartphone ecosystem on your wrist

More than a watch, more than just a Bluetooth accessory, the smartwatch 2.0 is a genuine standalone device that can also work independently from your smartphone.

This is the 'missing link' in the M2M chain for the global mobile network operators as it allows subscribers to stay connected anytime and anywhere through the 2G / 3G capabilities of the device.

What new designers are creating is first and foremost a watch, a watch you can wear and feel comfortable with, wearing it wherever you go and whatever you do - jogging, swimming, surfing, hiking… Designers will have to consider using telecom technology expertise to make it smart, truly smart.

This new generation of smartwatches 2.0 will boost the whole M2M ecosystem by connecting multiple wearable devices through wireless technology but also to the network. This evolution in the M2M field will allow to extend the connection to a broader range of devices as more and more products are becoming ‘smart’ such as smart glasses, music router, cars and connected homes (windows, doors, thermostats, etc…)

Every successful hardware relies on a strong software ecosystem. Smartwatch 2.0 will be able to carry out a plethora of applications right from our wrist to enable call, reply messages, run best-in-class applications, enable tasks to manage your connected home, share photos and videos anytime and anywhere especially in places you would not have been able to carry your smartphone.

I predict that smartwatch 2.0 will step by step replace current smartwatch 1.0 as well as health and fitness trackers and revolutionize the M2M industry… from our wrist.
