Jon Howes Named Technology Director for Beecham Research

Beecham Research today announced the appointment of Jon Howes as Technology Director to enhance the firm's services with expanded technical insights to complement their strong market research and analysis of the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things industry.

Before joining Beecham Research in 2011, Howes led his own NEuW Limited consultancy team since 1993 building products and services based on new semiconductor and other advanced technologies for clients around the world, in sectors as wide-ranging as automotive, smart grid and healthcare. Leading R&D and marketing activities with Fujitsu (News - Alert) and Ferranti in the preceding years, he helped launch many types of products including some of the first GSM solutions. He combines a strong technical background, particularly in wireless, semiconductor technologies and system software with deep market knowledge of M2M-related sectors. He is an expert in M2M solution security.

"We're delighted to be expandingour capabilities by leveraging Jon's technical expertise," said Beecham Research founder and CEO, Robin Duke-Woolley. "As we examine marketplace issues ever more closely on behalf of our clients, we see an increasing need for deep technical insights to support our market analysis and strategy development work. Jon has been a tremendous asset as we consult with technology companies about how to build their businesses in the M2M/Internet of Things space."

Howes recently published a white paper on security in M2M as a prelude to an upcoming report: Towards Right-Sizing Security for M2M Solutions. The white paper is free and available for download at www.beechamresearch.com.
