Use Cases
Connect every device,asset and application.
From low-volume telemetry and narrowband sensors to mobile telematics and broadband applications, Massive matches connectivity to your data, coverage, mobility and performance requirements — on terrestrial networks and beyond them.
Use Cases / By Industry
Industry-specific use cases
Every sector puts different demands on a connection. Explore some of the industries to learn how Massive supports them.
Massive services are not a substitute for emergency or life-safety communications unless specifically contracted. Coverage and performance vary by device, geography and network conditions.
Use Cases / By Application
Application-specific use cases
Applications describe what the connected solution does. Each one sets its own data pattern, coverage need and device constraints.

Use Cases / Data Profiles
Connectivity for every IoT data requirement
Data profile describes what a device transmits and how often. Connectivity type is the bearer that carries it. Keeping the two separate is what makes the comparison below useful.
| Data profile | Typical pattern | Connectivity type | Example applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Periodic small payloads | A few bytes to a few kilobytes, sent on a schedule. | LTE-M or Cat.1-bis | Equipment status, tank levels, environmental sensors |
| Low-power wide-area | Infrequent messages where battery life and deep indoor reach matter more than speed. | LTE-M or Cat.1-bis | Smart metering, lighting control, fixed sensors |
| Mobile session | Regular position and event data from something that moves and changes cell. | LTE-M or Cat.1-bis | Fleets, trailers, mobile plant, tracked assets |
| High throughput | Continuous or bursty data, including imagery and video. | Cat.1-bis, Cat.4 or 5G | Cameras, gateways, POS, digital signage |
| Beyond terrestrial coverage | Small messages from assets outside any cellular footprint. | NB-NTN (NB-IoT over satellite) | Offshore, pipeline, remote monitoring sites |
Satellite NTN carries narrowband traffic on the same SIM as terrestrial service.
