Machines look set to fill the gap for telecoms operators when the saturation point for mobile phones is reached. Already, the mobile phone market in many countries is purely for replacement and upgrades as almost all the population already has one and sometimes two mobiles.

This is leading to many of the operators looking at wireless connectivity of machines as the next big market. Known as machine-to-machine, or M2M, this is a market that could exceed $90bn within four years with some 800 million connected devices, according to Macario Namie, the senior director of product marketing at Jasper Wireless, which provides the platform, applications and design services needed to connect and manage such devices worldwide.

“It is a revenue generator for the operators,” he told Suite 101.

Recent research from Juniper Research is not quite as optimistic, predicting the number of mobile connected M2M and embedded devices to rise to almost 412 million globally by 2014. And according to a research report from the analyst firm Berg Insight, 1.4% of the mobile network connections worldwide were used for wireless M2M communications at the end of 2009. The shares in the EU and the US were 2.4 and 4.3%, respectively.
