Snapshot: 5G RedCap
5G Reduced Capability (RedCap) devices are designed to cater to IoT and FWA use cases with requirements of low device complexity and power consumption but moderate requirements on peak data rates. Built upon the 5G NR (New Radio) standard, 5G RedCap aims to offer a balanced approach to connectivity, enabling implementation and operation of cost- and energy-efficient devices for a wide range of IoT applications. As industries and applications continue to embrace this technology, RedCap is set to revolutionise how devices communicate and interact, paving the way for a more connected and efficient future.
Join the GSA Research Team and the GSA 5G RedCap Special Interest Group as they explore topics including:
Timelone of RedCap services
Capabilities of RedCap versus eRedCap
Global status of 5G standalone network deployments
A global view and regional-level look at the deployment of RedCap 5G
New GSA initiatives to drive and support the RedCap ecosystem
