In this white paper on 5G RedCap (Reduced Capability) also known as NR light (or lite), learn what it is and why it is expected to expand the 5G landscape to a broader IoT marketplace. With a series of lineups in the 5G RedCap module portfolio, Fibocom has adopted multiple optimizations in network reliability, power consumptionetc, to help customers migrate smoothly from 4G to 5G.
In this piece, you’ll uncover:
- What it is – Master the key benefits of 5G RedCap, and expectations in the forthcoming 3GPP R18.
- Impact of RedCap – How it will improve the overall performance of terminal devices in industrial automation, FWA, smart grid, VR.
- When to invest – The mass production of 5G RedCap terminal devices is predicted to be ready until 2024 or 2025 according to the roadmap.
- Why Fibocom is ramping up its modules – The newly launched Fibocom 5G RedCap module series FG131 and FG132 is the perfect wireless solution for cost-sensitive and power-enduring application scenarios. Integrated with several innovations in the hardware design, it is positioned to help customers to upgrade to 5G seamlessly.
In this piece, Robin Duke-Woolley the CEO of Beecham Research and Alex Zhu, Director of MTC Product Marketing at Fibocom talk about when this technology will become significant in the IoT market and how the rollout will happen geographically with a huge focus on the global market to start. At its core, RedCap or New Radio lite (NR lite) is ideal for specific sectors that want a more affordable and simplified alternative to full 5G that still delivers essential features but with some distinct performance upsides.
