Not all devices need full-throttle 5G.
eRedCap proves less can do more.
5G eRedCap is a leaner upgrade for the right use cases.
Forget full bandwidth.
Traditional terminals use up to 100MHz.
eRedCap trims it down to 20MHz.
Enough for efficiency—without waste.
Reception also works smarter.
NR checks in every few seconds.
DRX? Up to 2.5 seconds.
eRedCap? It waits up to 2.9 hours.
Less talk, more battery.
Then there’s cost.
Two antennas? That’s standard.
eRedCap gets the job done with one.
Fewer parts, fewer costs.
So what’s the takeaway?
eRedCap isn’t a downgrade.
It’s a right-size shift.
Ideal for wearables, sensors, and industrial IoT.
Fast enough.
Cheap enough.
Powerful enough.
5G doesn’t always need to be bulky.
Sometimes, less is more—on purpose.
