Breaking the Bottleneck! Redcap Propels the Industrial "Internet Celebrity."
2023 marks the fourth anniversary of the commercialization of 5G in China and a crucial period for the large-scale development of 5G scene applications.
In the promotion of 5G applications, terminals have become the "anchor" for the integration of 5G with industries. In the early days of 5G, manufacturers primarily focused on low latency and large bandwidth, resulting in high costs and difficulty in research and development for 5G terminals, limiting the widespread application of 5G technology.
To break through the industrial bottleneck and vigorously promote the large-scale development of 5G applications, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) proposed a lightweight type of user device, namely Redcap. Redcap achieves a reduction in terminal costs and power consumption by shrinking terminal bandwidth, reducing the number of transmitting and receiving antennas, and lowering modulation orders.
Redcap reduces terminal costs and power consumption while maintaining the advantages of 5G technology. It supports various network topologies, offering flexibility and scalability.
Redcap can be customized and expanded according to users' different application scenarios and requirements, making it widely applicable in IoT scenarios that require many connections. Currently, it has become one of the crucial technologies for building large-scale IoT networks.
