Massive Machine Type Communications

Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC) is one of three use cases designed for by 5G New Radio (5G NR). It enables the connection of millions of devices and will be the foundation of a successful Internet of Things. This pillar of 5G will be power efficient so as to maximise the battery life of connected devices, and supports low data rates (as opposed to the large data rates supported by eMBB).
