(Telecompaper) AT&T and GE have entered into a global alliance agreement to allow GE machines to connect to the AT&T network and cloud, creating a highly-secure wireless communications system for GE's "Industrial Internet." The companies' machine-to-machine (M2M) communications system will increase productivity and allow workers to remotely track, monitor, record and operate GE machinery, virtually anywhere globally. AT&T and GE plan to develop offerings that combine AT&T's network technologies, single Global SIM, device expertise, security and cloud access for industrial products such as electric vehicle chargers, lighting and engines. The companies also plan to collaborate in the AT&T Foundry innovation centre to build M2M services for GE's software platform Predix that can proactively maintain and remotely control industrial machines.
