2 Circles offer M2M services across a wide range of industries from simple device connectivity to more complex enterprise wide solutions. We offer a truly global footprint and provide the means to minimize the complexity of embedding connectivity into devices. M2M technology is growing in every sector with a limitless number of uses.
How does it work? To put simply, M2M communications are made possible by a device (such as a sensor) which captures an event (location, movement light, heart rate, etc.) and then relays that event wirelessly over the internet to a management system. These devices include a SIM card that is able to receive and transmit the event data wirelessly to a central server where an application translates this data into meaningful information which can then be acted upon e.g. the temperature is too hot, turn down the boiler. Lifecycle Management with automated service management for all stages of product lifecycle Custom rules to monitor specific device activity which can trigger automatic actions when critical events occur. Easy integration of control centre functionality with existing systems using standard based API s. Reporting features which provide information from data utilisation to performance and provisioning status. M2M Control Center Working In partnership with Telefónica, we offer a world leading managed connectivity platform, Control Center, already in use by major companies such as Amazon, Garmin and Sony. Control Center is completely configurable to meet the global operational needs of businesses. With the ability to test before deployment, automated provisioning and realtime diagnostics businesses can dramatically reduce their total cost of ownership. Key Features: Global SIM - enabling the management of local and worldwide operator service on a single SIM Web-based platform that provides control and management of M2M devices and connectivity in real-time, remotely from any part of the world. M2M SIMs Our M2M smart SIMs are designed to respond to the critical needs of robustness, flexibility and longevity demanded by applications in global M2M deployments. We can supply SIMs in commercial, industrial and machine solderable forms and also offer these formats as subscription swappable SIM (euicc) SIMs. Features and benefits of using our M2M SIMs All SIMs can be supplied in a number of states including test ready and ready-to-go. Single SIM Worldwide coverage Fully approved SAT (SIM Application Toolkit) compliant Increased reliability due to resistance to harsh environment and longer lifespan Standard 2 year warranty (extendable) One bill, regardless of connections and networks Real-time diagnostics to identify and troubleshoot issues on any device, anywhere, anytime.
M2M Data Plans We offer unbeatable pricing, from devices needing only a few kilobytes a month such as alarm and smart metering systems through to M2M applications in the industrial monitoring and control sector whose operation depends on the transfer of large amounts of data. Data requirements can be matched to the coverage required through one of our four pricing plans. alarm systems, so far over 50,000 devices, to allow remote monitoring of security devices for alerts, faults and even remote maintenance. Fleet Management helping to reduce fleet operating costs by implementing M2M based tracking for the remotely monitoring of driver behaviour such as braking, cornering and adherence to speed limits. Smart Connect UK (O2 only) Smart Connect All (all UK networks) Smart Connect EU on Net (O2 only) Smart Connect EU 28 (all networks) With a proven track record in delivering M2M solutions, across multiple industry sectors, we are confident that 2 Circles can deliver you a robust, scalable and competitive solution.

Working with 2 Circles to deliver M2M solutions M2M technology can be used for companies to find new ways of creating, capturing and sharing information enabling product differentiation and giving them a competitive advantage Some of the ways in which we have helped our customers stay ahead of their competitors:.. Distribution Assisting a leading newspaper and magazine distributor in the streamlining of their time critical delivery process with the supply and management of 250,000 M2M devices, to provide tracking and delivery information back to a central logistics system. Security Working with a global security alarm manufacturer to embed M2M SIMs in all their Will I be restricted to only O2 networks? No, with our flexible data plans which can be tailored to your requirements, your M2M devices aren t only restricted to one network. Is a M2M SIM the same as a normal SIM? No, our M2M SIMs have been specifically designed to withstand the harsher environments that they will be exposed to inside industrial equipment such as higher temperatures, humidity and lots of vibrations. Can we integrate device management into our own system? Yes, you can easily integrate Control Center functionality into your own systems for easy management and real-time control of your devices from your own applications. What types of wireless services are supported? Three types of services are supported data, SMS (Short Message Service or texts), and voice Is it possible to limit the data usage of each device? Yes, each device can be assigned a data usage allowance and if a device goes over this allowance then it can be stopped from using any more data or its behaviour can then be determined by either a pre-set value.
