Telia, Nokia and MediaTek carried out the RedCap field tests utilizing a base station from Telia Finland’s production network and a Standalone 5G core network on MediaTek’s RedCap test platform
Nordic telco Telia has actually performed field tests of 5G Decreased Ability (RedCap) with Nokia and MediaTek in Finland, Telia stated in a release.
RedCap is a brand-new Radio Gain access to Network (RAN) 5G software application option that supports brand-new and existing usage cases for gadgets such as smartwatches, other wearables and commercial sensing units. A few of the primary advantages of RedCap consist of minimized gadget chipset expense, lower intricacy and less power intake.
” Telia currently uses IoT networks with much better protection, longer battery life and lower expenses,” stated Arttu Rantala, senior company supervisor at Telia. “These networks are likewise being established in 5G, where we can provide services and developments that would not have actually been possible previously. We will have the ability to link a big variety of gadgets to our network, which will assist our consumers enhance their performance and attain their sustainability objectives. We have actually now checked 5G RedCap, which in the future will match IoT,” the executive included.
Telia, Nokia and MediaTek carried out the RedCap field tests utilizing a base station from Telia Finland’s production network and a Standalone 5G core network on MediaTek’s RedCap test platform. The test likewise consisted of movement areas to make sure signal transmission, Telia stated.
” Effective field tests validate that Nokia’s independent 5G networks are prepared for RedCap innovation. RedCap terminals make it possible for making use of an independent 5G network in applications that utilize lower bandwidth. In this method, we make sure that RedCap serves the IoT requirements of business and market and allows the advancement of a broader series of customer gadgets,” stated Ari Kynäslahti, technique and innovation director of Nokia’s Mobile Networks company group.
” Cooperation with Telia and Nokia has actually been an essential consider developing the 5G IoT market,” stated MediaTek’s European sales director Pascal Lemasson. “RedCap is a substantial innovation action that makes 5G-IoT gadgets, for instance wearable gadgets and commercial cordless sensing units, more effective and budget-friendly, while they use all the benefits of 5G connections.”
At the end of September, Telia Finland’s 5G population protection is currently 90%.
According to Telia’s quote, the variety of IoT gadgets linked to the mobile network in the Nordics and the Baltics is continuously growing. In 2021, the development was 44 percent, which is more than double the development compared to 2020.
