Every so often in the M2M industry one is party to some breaking news. Recently I was compiling some research for the latest edition of M2M Now and interviewing Wyless CEO Dan McDuffie and he shared with me their acquisition of Aspider M2M.
It's a bold move, making an aggressive play to be a global M2M Service Provider. Along with TM Data that Wyless recently acquired in Brazil it gives the company a much more international footprint. And the capabilities that Aspider brings to the table also makes the offering deeper. This is no simple roaming-based global offering. We think the M2M Service Provider market is underserved in Europe, and we know that everyone is M2M is reassessing channels to market. If Wyless, and other M2M Service Providers, can find some competitive differentiator, be it vertical expertise, technology agnosticism, greater client support or whatever, there's good opportunity to out-perform what is a very rapidly growing market.
