Priority Communications Limited, a leading player in the telecommunications industry with presence in over 26 states of the federation, has introduced Machine to Machine (M2M) connectivity.

M2M technology is a connectivity type that enables automated wired or wireless communication between mechanical or electronic devices.

The telecommunications company said the M2M allows networked machines to exchange information and perform actions without the manual assistance of humans.

Mabel Shaibu, Business Development Manager, Priority Communications Limited, stated that because of the level of complexity needed for machines to communicate with each other, M2M requires deep integration between systems and a thorough understanding of metadata, product data and business processes, as well as an understanding of IT and financial impacts of the data that it provides. This, according to her, is what Priority Communications has fully packaged to deliver to her clients nationwide.

“Priority’s M2M connectivity has the following key components: Radio frequency identification (RFID), sensors, computing programmed software used for interpreting data and making decisions and cellular communications or WIFI,” Shaibu said.

She emphasised that Priority’s M2M nationwide services for Offsite, ATM, cash centres and branches are well optimised for locations that require reliable, consistent uptime, and stable band width. Shaibu disclosed that M2M has been deployed from locations outside Lagos to network with operation centres in Lagos with up to 99% uptime.
