The world is becoming more connected

The rise of Machine to Machine (M2M) communication has extended to cars, vending machines, grocery delivery vans, farms – in fact there are so many sectors which can now benefit from growing 4G and M2M communication.

The potential of Machine to Machine is limitless

The name says it all, Machine to Machine (M2M) is the exchange of information between devices. Whether it’s sensors in a grocery delivery van measuring food temperature or a microchip in a car monitoring fuel economy, many industries are using M2M to enhance their services and improve service reliability. Data transmission is done over mobile networks and with our EE network, we’re in a great position to help you take advantage of M2M. 

Why us?

Award-winning network

We’ve won the Mobile Industry Award for best Business & Consumer Network in 2014 and 2015. In a 2016 Ofcom publication we were confirmed as having the best coverage and best performing network. We support this by having a 4G network which is 50% faster than any of our competitors and we’re continually developing it to make sure we provide even more coverage, powerful connectivity and greater capacity and bandwidth. 

Any size, many possibilities

It doesn’t matter what size business your customer has. Whether they’re a large company or an SME who wants to stand up to larger competitors, our solutions can make their businesses more competitive and agile.

We’re saying goodbye to 2G

We have committed to carefully shutting down our 2G network by the end of the decade. This is part of the UK Government’s strategy to retire outdated mobile technology.

 

Retiring our 2G network will allow us to redeploy resources to further improve our superior 4G and 5G services. All 2G customers will be contacted ahead of any changes to the network.
