The military employ portable systems that integrate several wireless tracking and data collection technologies with a laptop, handheld computer, mobile reader, printer, software, and communications equipment. They can be carried like luggage and are used where there is no a fixed infrastructure.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) may not be considered a particularly exciting iteration of M2M (machine-to-machine), but as the technology becomes less and less expensive, solutions ranging from asset tracking to electronic pet identification are becoming more viable for businesses and consumers alike. In particular, one new use-case has turned up the heat on this decades-old technology, making it a hot topic in academia. At NAU (Northern Arizona University), www.nau.edu, Flagstaff, Ariz., school officials hope a new M2M-enabled attendance system will boost classroom efficiency and student performance.
