The RedCap Rx255C Module Collection from Quectel will assist in extending the attain of 5G into extra IoT functions and business verticals.
The Snapdragon X35 5G modem-RF gadget from Qualcomm is the inspiration of the Rx255C line of 5G NR Diminished Functionality (RedCap) modules launched by Quectel. The wi-fi modules allow vital dimension, vitality, and cost-effectiveness optimization whereas delivering low-latency 5G connection.
Wi-fi gadgets that don’t want the total capabilities of 5G NR are addressed by the RedCap specification, which was added to 3GPP 5G NR Model 17. A spread of recent enterprise sectors and cell broadband eventualities, together with entry-level web, compute, industrial automation, sensible cities, sensible vitality, and sensible wearables, will profit from the attain of 5G expertise made potential by RedCap gadgets.
The sub-6 GHz frequency band is supported by Rx255C modules in 5G standalone (SA) mode with a most bandwidth of 20 MHz. The sequence helps practically the entire main carriers globally and is backward-compatible with LTE networks. Theoretically, modules might transmit knowledge at a peak charge of about 220 Mbps downlink and 100 Mbps uplink.
Prospects can range the variety of antennas, scale back the transmitting and receiving bandwidth, and select an non-obligatory 64QAM/256QAM modulation to scale back the fee and dimension of the Rx255C modules. It’s potential to make use of a broad number of interfaces, corresponding to PCIe 2.0 and USB 2.0, in addition to add-on options like Voice over LTE and firmware over-the-air upgrades.
The Rx255C sequence was launched by Quectel throughout the latest Cell World Congress (MWC 2023). Within the first half of 2023, engineering samples of the Rx255C can be made out there. On the time of this announcement, a datasheet wasn’t accessible.
