17 Aug 2024 — This article below contains one quote that I wish to highlight: “If you think about an electric utility, they want that smart meter not to be touched for 40 years. They are not excited about RedCap replacing Cat-M devices. As far as they’re concerned, LTE devices are kind of fine. We’ve made it too fragmented as a wireless industry by having so many standards.” It hits the nail squarely on the head. One can immediately see the wide disconnect between supply and demand. This points to the possibility that the development of 5G has taken place without sufficient input from enterprises (i.e., build the technology first, we will find a use for it later). Worse, features and capabilities are introduced in a piecemeal manner spanning over several years. I pose this question, "How significant or vital is the RedCap improvement over Cat-M (and its equivalent) such that enterprises will rip out and replace their existing IoT devices?" What problem is RedCap solving that other solutions such as Cat-M cannot; and is this problem one that is a top priority for enterprises? It's primarily about business value. Technology developers need to view technology from the perspectives of adopters. Deep understanding of their business problems, priorities, and future plans are essential to ensure a smooth and rapid uptake of any new technology. This is what is truly lacking in my opinion. Also, do not confuse the market with too many names and/or standards for IoT. It's just poor marketing. The fact that fixed wireless access (FWA) is now touted as the killer application for 5G is an indictment on the technology itself. What happened to all the grandiose 5G use cases trotted out by the industry? If the industry fails to take away the lessons from this 5G debacle, I fear the same situation will repeat itself for 6G! #redcap #5G #6G

In summary: Perhaps the slow pace of 5G SA Deployments is part of the broader theme in Wireless right now. “We have this Downturn in the Industry,” said Joe Madden, Chief Analyst with Mobile Experts. “It’s all doom & gloom.”.. There’s another Problem for RedCap, & that is “IoT is a mess.” ... the Wireless Industry puts out New Standards every 18 months, & a lot of times it’s just fine-tuning. But Enterprises hate that. Viet Nguyen, VP of Public Relations & Technology for 5G Americas, said LTE-M & Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) are Legacy Technologies, while RedCap takes IoT into the Modern Age with 5G & “really gives a long tail of great Technology for efficient use of bandwidth.” RedCap was specified in 3GPP Rel-17, & there were also some updates to it in Rel-18, which was just completed in June 2024. “There’s a lot of testing that has occurred, particularly outside the U.S. in Asia,” said Nguyen. “Bharti Airtel in India has worked with Ericsson. Several Middle-East Operators have been looking at some of those Systems. A lot of the IoT Market resides in Europe.”

The new #5Gnetwork has the potential to open a world of possibilities for businesses and consumers alike with greater speed and improved connectivity. Wireless #technology can play a crucial role in accelerating the adoption of self-driving cars, #augmentedreality, #extendedreality, #virtualreality, and other devices connected to the #InternetofThings (IoT). According to certain estimates, #5G technology could generate 22.3 million jobs and contribute USD13.2 trillion to the global economy by 2035.

“IT rules the roost, while OT lays the eggs..” Cisco is taking a stance on Industry 4.0's wireless communication needs. According to them, traditional cellular is too complicated while WiFi is too simple. Cellular needs simplicity and #WiFi needs to be re-engineered for predictable low-latency and reliable communications with a sprinkling of #MPLS. However, Wi-Fi has the advantage of unlicensed spectrum.
