We live in a global world where technology, especially information and communication technology, is changing the manner in which businesses create and capture value, how and where we work, and how we interact and communicate. Consider five technologies that are transforming the very foundations of global business and the organizations that drive it: cloud and mobile computing, big data and machine learning, sensors and intelligent manufacturing, advanced robotics and drones, and clean-energy technologies. These technologies are not just helping people to do things better and faster, but they are enabling profound changes in the ways that work is done in organizations.
Technology applications have mostly helped to reduce dependence on physical labor, resulting in improvement in the knowledge quotient of work.
The next generation of communication systems, which is commonly referred to as 5G, is expected to support, besides the traditional voice and data services, new communication paradigms, such as Machine-to-Machine (M2M) services, which involve communication between Machine-Type Devices (MTDs) in a fully automated fashion, thus, without or with minimal human intervention. Although the general requirements of 5G systems are progressively taking shape, the technological issues raised by such a vision are still partially unclear. Nonetheless, general consensus has been reached upon some specific challenges, such as the need for 5G wireless access networks to support massive access by MTDs, as a consequence of the proliferation of M2M services.

Our paper will we describe the following main parts:
How does M2M In-Vehicle Wi-Fi service work?
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, also referred to as telematics, describes the various technologies involved in giving everyday objects the ability to communicate with, and control, other objects over wireless networks without the need for human intervention. M2M enabled devices can transmit real-time information about everything from road conditions to manufacturing processes through an exchange of data between a remote machine and back-end IT infrastructure. Assets, equipment or systems can be analyzed and controlled from virtually any location using a 3G/4G M2M router to transmit data over a wireless network to a computer.

Does your business need M2M In-Vehicle Wi-Fi service
Leading service providers and international carriers are moving on the M2M opportunity, but the uptake of in-vehicle M2M has yet to be fully realized.Wireless World Research estimates there will be 7 trillion wireless devices, including sensors
and tags, contributing data by 2017. From less than 90 million connections globally in 2010, the automotive and transport M2M market will grow to almost 1.4 billion connections by the end of 2020. Of these, one billion will be application-specific ‘aftermarket’ devices, and well over 300 million will be vehicle platforms supporting multiple applications.
In-vehicle telematics has developed beyond early, stand-alone devices to more interactive, intelligent and event-driven systems. New M2M technologies are forming part of transport management systems that monitor, communicate evaluate and respond to events in real-time over wireless networks. These technologies are designed to drive commercial benefits such as improved asset management and business efficiency.
Ultimately, the increased uptake of in-vehicle telematics will support the productivity, safety, economic and environmental objectives being pursued by governments and business.

Benefits of this service
While the M2M opportunity applies to everything from vending machines to smart metres, the ability to connect to, and control, and remote assets without fixed line
(ADSL/cable/Fiber) requirements is particularly beneficial for the automotive and transport sectors. Connected technology is enabling the live observation and management of trucks, buses, trains, ships, construction, farming and other industry vehicles over global 3G / 4G networks; and is expanding to meet diverse transport infrastructure needs covering areas such as ticketing and toll systems, traffic management and fleet optimization.

Features
Wireless M2M technology reduces operational and maintenance costs with remote real time access to data concerning factors such as each vehicle’s operating condition, location and fuel levels. With the ability to control, measure, monitor and transfer vehicle data over a wide geographical area, the transport sector can use an M2M router to:
• Decrease costs through the precise control of operations;
• Streamline transport processes through continuous monitoring and management;
• Initiate vehicle malfunction warnings;
• Remotely keep watch of fuel levels and engine parameters;
• Accurately react to system inconsistencies from a central location;
• Reduce the level of spare parts stock storage; and
• Schedule servicing
Industries can utilize remotely located equipment and mobiles connected for monitoring, without the need for man power – presenting a potentially huge saving

Testimonials about M2M In-Vehicle Wi-Fi service
The authors of evaluate autonomous, remote and semi-autonomous validation and security enforcement in a vehicular M2M framework. Autonomous validation is beneficial because of the ability to establish assurance in a device independent of the network, thus overcoming the problem of unreliable connectivity. The drawback of autonomous validation is the need for the M2M network to keep track of the state of every device, and always keep the security components of the whole network synchronized. Remote validation overcomes the requirement of state awareness, but makes security dependent on network coverage.
The vehicular network described in, uses semi-autonomous validation. This approach balances device-centric trust and traditional security enforcement by relegating key security functions to the individual vehicles. The vehicular network described in uses an M2M approach to ensure a secure system, based on the concept of a trust boundary.
To implement a distributed trust system, every device on the vehicle is equipped with a logically separate entity called the TRust Environment (TRE). The TRE hides sensitive data and software e.g. encryption functions and keys, TRE identification, security policy functions etc.) from untrusted access. The TRE forms a trust boundary upon a secure boot and is able to communicate this trust to other devices and expand the trust boundary to other devices in the vehicle, and to other vehicles using validation of expected TRE states. Hardware security measures are centered on a Root of Trust (RoT) set of fundamentally trusted functions, which are used to protect the trust anchor and to prevent tampering with it.
The RoT secures internal operations of its device and is able to convey sensitive information to external entities.
A configurable set of security functions is kept centrally in the M2M network

Conclusion
The road to connected future, whether the need is to connect individual vehicles or to connect vehicles to vast networks of other devices, according to Wireless World Research, there is a need for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications as well as car-to-road, carto-infrastructure, and car-to-driver communications. Whatever the need, the full potential of in-vehicle M2M connectivity will be realized with the continued uptake of technically advanced wireless M2M devices to monitor fuel levels, weather and traffic conditions, and to manage and communicate with vehicles from any location for improved business efficiency and productivity.
