The much awaited 13-digit numbers to telecom operators for the trial of machine-to-machine (M2M) communications like smart electric metres and car tracking devices have been issued by the Department of Telecom (DoT) on 5 April.
The DoT issued 13-digit numbers to state-run firm BSNL and private telecom operators Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio, Idea Cellular and Vodafone for testing purposes only.
As per letter sent by the DoT to operators, the authority has approved allocation of "1 million codes for testing purpose for each LSA (licence service area)" to service providers.
M2M communication is new-age technology, which connects smart homes and smart cars. M2M communication can include a gas, electricity or water meter communicating information it records such as consumption level, or a vending machine alerting distributor when stocks run low, or transmission of data about personal appliances.
