            Abstract : 
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications is a topic of great importance that maintains an ongoing interest in the academic community and in countless industries and services. Technological advances allow the successful deployment of particular solutions but many potential applications still face limitations that prevent them from happening. This paper compares data collected from five implementation cases in order to analyze key issues related to their value proposition and the challenges that currently limit the adoption of M2M communications.
