5G RedCap (short for ‘reduced capability’) is a new standard for devices that require some 5G advantages, such as high speed and ultra-low latency, without needing full 5G capabilities.
Full 5G is impractical and expensive for many IoT use cases, especially in markets without 5G infrastructure. As networks expand and costs decrease, the demand for full 5G may grow, but many IoT applications simply won’t require it.
The market potential for RedCap is therefore significant; research suggests that by 2030, 18% of all cellular IoT modules shipped will use the RedCap standard.
