Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) designed to provide a cheap and robust simultaneous connection to billions of devices and modules over wired or wireless networks without overloading the network, could be the next big thing according to global tech market advisory firm, ABI Research.
Writing in their 5G mMTC Overview, Devices and Use Cases application analysis report, the researchers think that devices like monitoring sensors, execution control units, connected home appliances, smart lights, basic wearables, smart clothing, headsets, drones, Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR), and sensors will soon take advantage of mMTC using the 5G network to collect data which will automate systems and improve efficiency, taking advantage of the increased speed.5G mMTC module shipments and revenue began its first year in 2020 in 2020 and will ramp up quickly to reach more than 1 billion units and module revenues over US$3 billion in 2024.
