It's the very history of microelectronics that say so. From the invention of the transistor to present days, the buzzword has always been the same: embedding. In other words, the constant tendency to embed new functionalities and power directly inside ever complex and performing electronic boards and ICs.

The fast growing world of machine-to-machine will be no exception and it's easy to foresee the path that OEMs and machinery manufacturers will follow.

Thanks to BITX, any "machine" coming out of the production line will be M2M enabled. Any time from that moment, the machine will be able to establish a network connection (wired or wireless, depending on the type of embedding) and become "visible" from a central monitoring system  operated by the manufacturer itself, by one of its customers, by a maintenance and service provider.

Today BITX GW (the BITX system component which acts as an  "interpreter", translating the instructions coming from a control center  into commands the remote device can undestand) is located on a module that is external to the machine, so that it can M2M enable (or retrofit) devices already deployed in the field.

For the machines of the next generation, BITX GW can be incorporated directly onto their main electronic board, giving them a new, fundamental capability: instead of using complex proprietary protocols, the machine will be able to send and receive information that are compliant with a public, intuitive, highly expressive, xml-based universal standard: BITXml.
