Zain successfully completes trial for 5.5G IoT RedCap Technologies in Kuwait
Video surveillance : Mobile cameras mainly provide upstream services . The upstream rate of 4 Mbps can meet the requirements of 1080p video , and the upstream rate of 20 Mbps can meet the requirements of 4K HD video . Therefore , RedCap can meet video surveillance requirements in most scenarios and facilitate the largescale development of wireless cameras .
Zain Group has completed the technical prototype validation of
RedCAP based on 5.5G technology in Kuwait . RedCap is defined as part of the 3GPP Internet of Things architecture .

From the perspective of application scenarios , Redcap has huge potential in the industrial and consumer markets .
Wearable devices : include smart glasses , smart watches , smart bands , and the like . The RedCap technology reduces terminal complexity and optimises power consumption to save power . RedCap supports 1T1R , facilitating small-sized UE integration . In terms of rate , the RedCap terminal can meet the requirements of wearable devices , 5 – 50 Mbps in the downlink and 2 – 5 Mbps in the uplink . In the future , RedCap-enabled wearable devices will grow rapidly after the popularity of RedCap networks .
As a critical technology of 5G R17 , RedCap offers numerous advantages . First , RedCap reduces terminal complexity by about 60 % compared to traditional 5G terminals . Second , RedCap takes on some of the best features of 5G NR , such as low latency , high reliability , service assurance , and low power use . Third , RedCap can be introduced on demand for various application scenarios to meet service requirements effectively .
