Innovators that are entering the M2M space for the first time can benefit from an emerging group of companies that are turning their M2M expertise into specialized integration services. North Carolina-based Connected Development, for example, provides a long list of development services ranging from custom design and performance testing all the way to prototyping and manufacturing (through partners). The company has a proven track record in helping bring to market everything from patient-monitoring solutions to motion-sensing devices.
In fact, entrepreneur Rob Sweeney credits Connected Development as a key partner that helped him launch a product designed to help elderly people connect with family that requires no set up on the behalf of the user. Having a partner like Connected Develoment that understands the market and the challenges involved can help bring virtually any idea to life.
