More than ever, we all need reliable networks to provide us with the necessary information, whenever and wherever we need. That’s exactly why HMS Networks launched the Ewon Talk2M in 2007.
Since 2006, the unique Talk2M service meets the expectations of Machine Builders, System Integrators and OEMs who want to access their machines remotely in an easy and secure way. Over the years, Talk2M has become more than a cloud for remote access to machines and it has developed into a fundamental link in the Industrial IoT value chain. Software teams also take advantage of the Talk2M platform to securely retrieve data from the field, developing applications which add value to the data. With well-defined operational services to manage accounts and devices, Talk2M is the best choice for your remote solution.
As the first secure industrial connectivity service in the cloud, Talk2M is a highly reliable, efficient and secure solution for remote machine connectivity, including a state-of-the-art global server infrastructure.
With Ewon’s Talk2M as a powerful and scalable infrastructure, it offers the following:
