Until common standards and protocols emerge for machine-to-machine and wireless sensor communications, costs will be a problem.

只有M2M（机器对机器通信技术）和无线传感通信的通用标准和通信协议建立起来,成本问题才能解决.

For all the excitement, it will be a while before machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and sensor networks become ubiquitous.

虽然前景令人激动，但想要实现机器交互(M2M)，传感器网络无处不在还需要一定的时间。
