Etisalat by e & and Huawei demonstrate 5G RedCap services
etisalat by e & and Huawei showcased the 5G Unique RedCap Service during Gitex . RedCap is a cuttingedge technology poised to transform how businesses approach digitalisation and business transformation . By establishing a single network encompassing both RAN and core networks , RedCap can cater to a wide range of use cases .
Each RedCap use case has unique requirements that are less demanding regarding data rates and latency than regular 5G NR devices . However , the device cost , complexity and power consumption requirements are more stringent .
Despite this , the battery life requirements for RedCap use cases are relatively relaxed compared to those of mMTC use cases . RedCap is designed to efficiently support use cases that require a balance between the more extreme requirements defined for mMTC , URLLC , and eMBB . RedCap devices may also be suitable for moderate mMTC , URLLC , eMBB use cases . Compared to eMBB , URLLC , and mMTC use cases , RedCap can meet the requirements of various Broadband IoT use cases regarding data rates , latency , battery life , and small form factors .
With RedCap and its evolution , 5G can efficiently address mid-tier Broadband IoT use cases and the three key usage scenarios , eMBB , URLLC , mMTC using any available 5G spectrum in all , low , mid , high frequency bands . Based on analysis , RedCap can meet the requirements of various Broadband IoT use cases regarding data rates , latency , battery life , and small form factors .
RedCap can sufficiently meet these requirements compared to LTE device category 4 , with similar data rates but improved latency and potential support for various 5G NR features , including enhanced positioning , millimeter-wave operations with advanced beamforming support , and network slicing .
This revolutionary technology will expand the 5G ecosystem and connect a vast array of devices to 5G networks , facilitating seamless communication and data transfer . Additionally , RedCap will enable the smooth migration to NR for supporting such use cases without costly network deployments with multiple RATs .
Wearables such as smart watches , wearable medical devices , low-end AR ,
VR glasses , video surveillance , industrial sensors , and smart grids are just a few examples of the use cases that RedCap can address . With its unparalleled capabilities and versatility , RedCap is set to revolutionise how businesses operate and set the standard for digitalisation and transformation .
RedCap belongs to the Broadband IoT category and is designed to match the market segment that does not require highend NR devices . The use cases envisioned for RedCap include wearables , industrial wireless sensors , video surveillance cameras , and low-end AR , VR applications . RedCap devices are also ideal for replacing low-end LTE devices , and they can serve as a substitute for LTE-M , NB-IoT in frequency bands where they have no standard support or no product ecosystem .
Using network slicing technology significantly improves the availability of different connectivity options for vertical industries with efficient business models and high-quality connectivity services for industry customers . p
