A method, a system and an apparatus of location-based machine-to-machine communication are disclosed. The method includes: a network device receives a first service request sent by an MTC server and intended for obtaining service data of a first service in a first area, where the network device uses a first terminal identifier to trigger first MTC devices that execute the first service in the first area to access a network, and the first MTC devices share the first terminal identifier and first subscription information; the network device receives the service data of the first service reported by the first MTC devices after the first MTC devices access the network as triggered; and the network device sends the service data to the MTC server. Embodiments of the present invention can save storage space and bearer resources of the network side and reduce network overhead, device overhead and air interface resource consumption.
