Recently, Quectel Rx255C 5G RedCap series modules took the lead in completing the test in the real network environment of the operator RedCap in Shanghai, and successfully verified a series of capabilities such as RedCap network access, in order to accelerate the commercialization of RedCap in the field of medium and high-speed Internet of Things Deployment laid a good foundation.
RedCap real network test site located in Jiading District, Shanghai
This field test is based on the 5G RedCap trial commercial network of n1 and n78 frequency bands deployed by Shanghai Unicom in Jiading District. Under this network, Quectel’s RG255C-CN in LGA package and RM255C-GL in M. Successfully completed related tests, including RedCap network access, RACH with initial RedCap BWP, IPv4/IPv6 PDU session establishment, IMS registration, RRC measurement relaxation function, etc. The test results met expectations.
RedCap R17 network connection log
Quectel RG255C-CN / RM255C-GL is the first batch of RedCap modules on the Qualcomm Snapdragon X35 platform that have been adjusted in the real network environment of operators in China. The adjustment of the real network means that this series of modules has taken a key step on the road to commercial use This step will effectively promote the implementation of RedCap technology in industrial automation, smart cities, smart energy and other IoT scenarios.

The full name of RedCap is Reduced Capability, which means "simplified capability". It is a key technology defined by 3GPP in the 5G R17 protocol standard for medium and high-speed IoT scenarios. It is mainly oriented to 5G application scenarios that do not require high speed and delay. Lightweight 5G". In medium and high-speed Internet of Things application scenarios, RedCap can not only greatly reduce the cost of 5G terminals, but also inherit 5G native capabilities such as low latency, high reliability, and network slicing, thereby achieving a good balance between cost and performance, and helping To explore more 5G application scenarios and accelerate the process of large-scale commercial use of 5G.
Quectel has been actively investing in the research and development of 5G RedCap products, and working with ecological partners to promote the development of this field. In February this year, Quectel took the lead in launching the 5G RedCap communication module Rx255C series; in May, as the first batch of members, joined the industry's first 5G RedCap industry alliance; at the same time, promoted the release of "China Unicom 5G RedCap White Paper" and joined China Unicom The RedCap technology research group of the pan-terminal technology ecological innovation joint laboratory has accelerated the acceleration of 5G technology and benefited thousands of industries.
At present, Quectel is stepping up more verification tests with its partners in order to accelerate the mature development of the industry, providing services for entry-level mobile broadband, notebook computers, industrial automation, smart cities, smart energy, AR/VR smart wearable devices, etc. A variety of businesses provide more competitive commercial solutions.
