5G RedCap: Hitting the sweet spot of vehicle connectivity
Operating on smaller bandwidths with fewer antennas, 5G RedCap provides a streamlined middle ground that delivers 5G reliability and low latency while slashing device costs and battery drain.
5G RedCap (Reduced Capability), also known as 5G NR-Light, standardized by 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) in Release 17, is a streamlined version of 5G designed for devices that do not require the full complexity, power consumption, or cost of traditional enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) 5G modules. It basically sits between high-end 5G modules used for infotainment and autonomous driving and low-power IoT technologies like LTE-M (Long-Term Evolution for Machines) and Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT).
