NOVEMBER EDITION OF CONNECTED |
November 2013 |
A future without circuit-switched networks and transition to all-IP communication networks is foreseeable. The U.S. FCC is looking to move the nation’s telephone system from its century-old network of circuits and switches to all-IP communications by 2018. In Australia, the winding down of Circuit Switch Data (CSD) services is evident in the lack of availability of Sim cards for CSD. Viewed as relatively inefficient, unused capacity guaranteed to a CSD connection cannot be used by other connections on the same network. Packet switching in all–IP communications is considered a much better use of limited channel resources and more profitable by carriers. A solution is offered for the many legacy M2M devices using CSD. M2M Connectivity is able to set up an IP call that 100% emulates CSD. The customer using CSD does not have to change their back end systems and benefits from cost savings by moving from a CSD Sim to a M2M Sim with 1-2MB per month with service costs. By not depending on 2G or 3G, CSD M2M communications are future proof. This month we introduce new staff members. Peter Austin joins M2M Connectivity as Sales Manager for NSW and Austin Wang is a welcome addition to our engineering team.
