Abstract
A system for managing communications between a group of remote machine-to-machine devices and a management platform is described where the remote devices may have disparate communication protocols. An agent gateway sits in the communication path between the remote devices and the management platform and communicates wireless with the remote devices using the native communication protocols of each device. The agent gateway includes a translator function connected to a management information base, wherein the management information base contains information relating to each machine-to-machine device and its native protocol. The agent gateway translates the messages into a standard protocol, such as SNMP, used by the network management platform allowing the network management platform to monitor and manage the remote devices using the standard network protocol.
