3GPP 5G Release 17 RedCap device testing

Introduced in 3GPP NR Rel. 17, RedCap targets at leveraging the proliferation of massive machine type communications (mMTC). This includes the aspect of service continuation of legacy technologies such as NB-IoT and also the support of enhanced and new machine type services. RedCap targets at IoT services requiring higher data rate as mMTC services but less data rates as 5G eMBB with the simultaneous reduction of UE complexity and leveraging power saving aspects. Typical examples are stationary devices such as cameras and industrial sensors in private 5G networks.
The R&S CMX500 OBT lite radio communication tester comes with a streamlined configuration that perfectly serves the need for customers testing RedCap devices in R&D and type approval.
