1. Describe M2M communication in an IoT system. (3 marks)

• Definition: M2M refers to the automated exchange of information

between devices, without human involvement. This communication can

happen over a variety of networks, such as wired, wireless, or hybrid

systems.

• Role in IoT: M2M is crucial for enabling devices to work together

seamlessly. It allows devices like sensors, actuators, and controllers to

communicate with one another, transmitting data that can trigger automatic

responses or actions. M2M is widely used in sectors such as manufacturing,

healthcare, transportation, and utilities.
