Lives and properties are lost daily to burglary, housebreaking, road accidents and fire accidents because of lack of quick emergency response by the agencies concerned as a result of poor communication method between the victims of the incidents and the agencies which currently is designed to be Human-to-Human (H2H). The distress caller is expected to make a call through a network to the respective agency for emergency response. For obvious reasons, this sometimes becomes impossible or ineffective. This research puts forth an Internet-based architecture for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication and computation to enhance information dissemination in National Public Security Communication System (NPSCS) network. M2M communication is all about enabling the flow of data between machines and machines and ultimately machines and people. The findings from the analysis showed that Internet-based architecture for M2M communication and computation is most suitable for deployment of a public security network which will allow machines to use Internet to talk to each other.

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) refers to technologies that allow both wireless and wired systems to communicate with other devices (wikipedia.org). This is accomplished through the use of telemetry, which is a language machines use when communicating with each other. Such communication was originally accomplished by having a remote network of machines relay information back to a central hub for analysis, which would then be rerouted into a system such as a personal computer. However, modern M2M communication has expanded beyond a one-to-one connection and changed into a system of networks that transmits data to portable personal electronics (Prepaid MVNO http://www.prepaidmvno.com). The expansion of wireless networks across the world has made it far easier for M2M communication to take place and has lessened the amount of power and time necessary for information to be communicated between machines (Lanza, 2011).

The introduction of the Internet, wireless devices and cloud computing have greatly expanded the possible uses of M2M communication (DSTI/ICCP/CISP, 2011). The data collected can now be combined and used in a variety of ways. The same data may be used in different contexts on different devices. For example, municipal employees collecting refuse can be signaled by the container with regard to its volume and the date of previous collection. City administrators and ratepayers can monitor the efficiency of the service, as well as assist in the design of service improvements or the convenience of their personal use (OECD, 2012).
