M2M Communications Platform x-active

What is behind all these buzzwords like „internet of things“, „thing ware“, „connected objects“ or „always on“ when it comes to machine-to-machine communication (M2M)? What needs to be really done in order to let these sounding terms get reality? We deliver answers to that.

Direct access to mobile or stationary devices is getting more and more of importance for many companies - to optimize processes, increase service quality, lower costs or implement new business models. Regardless of the industry in which they are active.

The M2M market has been and still is stamped by many niche and special solutions that tend to be inflexible and very costly.

When using our M2M communications platform x-active this will change. x-active has been designed to fit to both, customers and system integrators. It acts as basis for secure, bi-directional data communication to any objects in the field anywhere in the world.

x-active is not a vertical industry solution.

Any vertical solution (industry solution) consists of basically the same functional layers. The lowest layer provides data transport using mobile networks and thus represents the physical layer. On top of this, the communications layer assures a safe connection and secure data communication between server and end devices. Next the middleware layer provides the reliable provision of user data to the customer application. Up to the applications layer, there is almost no difference between solutions for various verticals available today.

x-active follows exactly this approach by "standardizing" all layers below the application. Standard interfaces allow a straightforward communication to the application layer and hence can be used universally, independent of application or industry.

Using x-active and because of its "Software as a Service" (SaaS) approach, the typical investment into IT infrastructure is not needed.

Being an active software, x-active interrogates machines and devices whenever any information is required. Because it is active. Devices may of course send data or messages anytime also, like in the case of alerts. In order to keep monthly transmission costs as low as possible, all data is being transmitted in the most efficient way. Well suited for the national, important for the European and essential for the global market.

x-active provides ready-to-use all the functionality a M2M project will need. All needed components already exist - they only need to be linked into the system.
