Visibility & Control

M2M Datasmart is working at simple.  Of all the complexities and challenges that involve bringing M2M products to market - we remove the crucial obstacles that most developers and M2M OEM providers face through providing the most efficient, cost-effective and automated tools at your fingertips, so that you can focus on development and commercializing your solution at a reduced time-to-market benefit for you and your customers. 

Datasmart provides four (4) essential elements to support an end-to-end M2M solution through our secure, world-class customer activation and management portal - available only to customers and partners of M2MDatasmart: 

Bulk Activations 

The Online Product Activation process allows the end user to activate their products online just before they are used. This process allows the customer to create his or her own user account and passwords, to select a billing plan and enter a credit card number or an M2M Datasmart account number to establish billing.  The purpose of this process is to facilitate large numbers of individual product activations without the need for manual processes related to device management.

Each M2M Datasmart Customer is assigned a private and secure customer account. Each customer can monitor and control their units (and only their units) from their private administration page on the web server.

Product Provisioning & Activation

All units include a cellular radio that is “provisioned” through the M2M DataSmart cellular network. This step occurs during the provisioning and test process, prior to shipping.  Local configuration of the unit can occur before product activation, but activation must occur before any transmissions can be made. Specifically, the customer will create a new account (or select an existing account if they have one), select a billing plan, and enter address billing information, a credit card number or an existing billing account. The device associated with the activation key will then be assigned to the new account. 

Only Pay for It When You Need It!

Simple, economical and useful for seasonal M2M products applications...our end customers can use the M2M DataSmart on-line system to de-activate a device, terminate billing (at the end of any month), or suspend a device. There is no charge to deactivate a unit. The account can then be re-activated either on-line exactly when needed, or by scheduling it in advance.

There is a one-time fee to reactivate a unit, and then billing will be resumed according to the selected plan. 

Automated Tracking and Billing

All billing options and monthly costs are defined in the Customer Activation process - to which there are several billing options that coincide with the anticipated amount of data to be transmitted per month. Higher cost rate plans typically have a lower cost per byte of data.  Monthly usage is automatically measured and recorded by the M2M DataSmart Network Operations Center (NOC). Charges are normally billed to the user’s credit card (Visa or MasterCard) or they can be invoiced on a Net 30 basis with prior credit approval. 

The cost of excessive transmissions (beyond the amount purchased) is billed at a specified rate as per the plan selected.  The M2M DataSmart system can handle all of the airtime/data billing chores for the M2M OEM.
