• Use existing application for remote monitoring,
  control, diagnostics, data collection, and
  tracking
• Low-cost, risk-free wireless Internet
  connectivity
• Fast time-to-market minimum changes to product
• Avoid Internet programming
• A choice of Internet protocols
• Easy implementation and maintenance
