- 5G New Radio Reduced Capacity (RedCap), so called 5G NR RedCap, is a version of 5G for devices applications, like IoT device connectivity, that do not need high bandwidth or low latency of regular 5G.
- Commercial devices that support 5G NR RedCap are expected to be lower cost than 5G and available starting later this year.?
- 5G NR RedCap will compete against existing services like LTE and 4G that aimed at the same market.?
- Now that private LTE and 5G networks are viable options for a number of enterprise use cases, interest in the technology is on the rise.
- In reality, private 5G is much less about network performance and more about improved reliability, quality of service control, and improved range.
