Technical Article 5G RedCap: An Essential Technology for IoT

The advent of 5G technology marks a significant leap in wireless communication, aimed at addressing the growing need for higher data rates, lower latency, and increased device connectivity. A noteworthy component of the 5G ecosystem is the Reduced Capability (RedCap) technology, introduced as part of the 3GPP Release 17. RedCap, also known as 5G NR-Light, is tailored to enhance the capabilities of the Internet of Things by introducing a new class of user equipment designed to be smaller, less complex, and more energy-efficient, while ensuring cost-effectiveness and improved battery life.
