Machine-to-Machine Communications: the view from Russia

Abstract

The paper describes the current state on M2M communications and targets mostly Smart Metering Communication Mandate and Open API from ETSI. We provide a description for the current state of this API as well as propose some extensions we are working on. Our proposals are oriented to more tight integration of M2M API and modern web development tools and approaches. Also this paper outlines some practical systems being implemented locally (Russia, Latvia) and suggests the prospect directions for the joint projects in M2M area.
