Contact: Publicist Carol Stream, Ill. – Nov. 20, 2008 – Today, M2M
magazine revealed the companies named to the 2009 M2M 100. Published
for the fifth time, this annual directory recognizes the leading technology
providers in the machine-to-machine industry. Acting
as a snapshot of the companies currently leading the way in the machine-to-machine
technology marketplace, the M2M 100 provides key insight into the
M2M industry and how it appears today. The
2009 M2M 100 provides evidence that the M2M marketplace is beginning
to stabilize and thrive in its environment. This year 87 companies
remained on the list from the previous year, up from 79 companies
in 2008. This remarkable retention rate also couples with a five-year
low in M&As (merger and acquisitions). The height of M&A activity
was in 2006 when 32 mergers and acquisitions were announced, while
the industry saw that number cut in half with just 16 occurring in
2008. “The
M2M 100 gives industry stakeholders a look at what companies are providing
the best-of-the-best of what machine-to-machine technology has to
offer,” said Mike Carrozzo, chief editor of M2M. “These are
the companies that provide the cutting-edge technology that’s enhancing
the practices of businesses in which M2M is deployed.” The M2M 100 is compiled from a list of more than 300 companies gathered from various sources. The editorial team at M2M magazine, along with its editorial advisory board, researches and analyzes the collected data, deciding which 100 companies will be named. Some of the criteria for selection include strength and number of customer references; establishment in the market; growth potential; and active involvement in and support for the M2M community. The
