Recently, the "Notice on Promoting the Evolution and Application Innovation and Development of 5G Lightweight (RedCap)" (Draft for Comment) was officially announced, which will further promote the evolution of 5G RedCap technology, product research and development, and industrialization, and vigorously promote the large-scale development of 5G applications.
In order to accelerate the large-scale commercialization of RedCap, on August 30, at China Mobile’s “4th Technology Week and Strategic Emerging Industries Co-creation and Development Conference”, China Mobile joined hands with more than ten partners in the industry chain such as Quectel to release 5G The lightweight technology RedCap "1+5+5" innovation demonstration city provides technology testing and application demonstration platforms for the upstream and downstream of the industry chain, promoting deeper integration of 5G into the industry and higher-quality development. China Mobile Chairman Yang Jie, General Manager Dong Xin, Deputy General Manager Gao Tongqing and others attended the conference and delivered keynote speeches. Liu Minghui, deputy general manager of Quectel Communications, was invited to attend the launch ceremony.
Accelerate the large-scale commercial use of RedCap
RedCap is an iconic technology for 5G evolution. Through lightweight design of 5G bandwidth and antennas, it greatly reduces the complexity, cost and power consumption of 5G products. It can be widely used in smart power, industrial control, smart wearable devices and other scenarios to promote The integration of 5G and vertical industries is developing in depth and scale.
At present, all parties in the industry are paying close attention to the development of RedCap. China Mobile and Quectel and other industry partners jointly launched the RedCap "1+5+5" innovation demonstration city at the right time, which will comprehensively promote the evolution of RedCap technology and application innovation. It includes 1 industrial cluster innovation center, 5 technological innovation cities, and 5 application demonstration cities. It will provide RedCap test verification, achievement transformation and application promotion services for the upstream and downstream of the industry chain, and accelerate the promotion of networks, chips, modules, The terminal is mature and commercially available, and a number of RedCap benchmark projects have been established to lead industry application innovation.
Quectel supports RedCap technology evolution and application innovation
As a pioneer in the 5G field, Quectel has taken active actions in the research and development of RedCap technology. It was the first to launch the RedCap module Rx255C series in February this year, and has completed the live network test of RedCap terminal network compatibility.
Quectel Rx255C is based on Qualcomm Snapdragon X35 5G modem and RF system, complies with 3GPP Release 17 standards and supports 5G SA mode. It provides excellent wireless connectivity and low-latency communication while minimizing product size, energy consumption and cost-effectiveness. It has been greatly optimized to achieve a good balance between cost and performance, and can empower mobile broadband scenarios such as entry-level mobile broadband, notebook computers, industrial automation, smart cities, smart energy, and smart wearable devices.
At the same time, focusing on the promotion and application of RedCap technology, Quectel actively participates in ecological cooperation and jointly released the "5G RedCap Lightweight Universal Module Technical Requirements White Paper" with China Mobile Research Institute to assist in the formulation of 5G RedCap standards, system construction, and capability upgrades. , application demonstrations, etc., to promote the deep empowerment of 5G technology in various industries.
RedCap technology plays an active role in emerging infrastructure construction, innovation and upgrading of traditional industries, and the integration of digital economy and real economy. In the future, Quectel will continue to strengthen cooperation with partners such as China Mobile to strengthen the industry with technology and promote applications with industry, accelerate the maturity of RedCap technology, industry, and applications, promote the high-quality development of the RedCap industry, and jointly create a new future for 5G IoT.
