Chipset For Cellular M2M Communications

摘要

An apparatus and a method are provided for a cellular machine-to-machine (M2M) chipset configured to be coupled to a legacy device whereby the legacy device may be remotely monitored, operated, or controlled. The chipset has just enough processing power to establish a cellular network connection. A client cellular interface and a cellular access point are supported by the cellular network connection. The client cellular interface is configured to establish cellular connections with a communications network, whereby data passed to the client cellular interface is routed within the communications network to a computing device. The cellular access point is configured to receive cellular connections whereby the computing device may connect directly to the cellular M2M chipset.
