Peggy Smedley sits down with Andy Berman, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Sierra Wireless Mobile and M2M Products, to discuss the rapid global expansion of the M2M (machine-to-machine) industry. Andy shares how the merger of AirLink and Sierra Wireless created a stronger, more diverse product portfolio, and breaks down the company's growth across product lines, market segments, and regions including EMEA, Latin America, and Asia Pacific. The conversation covers distribution channel strategy, key customer success stories in fleet management and utility metering, the role of 3G network rollout in driving adoption, differences between North American and international markets, and Andy's bullish outlook on the future of M2M — including embedded technology, geographic expansion, and the fragmented-yet-collaborative value chain that defines the space.
