Singtel trials RedCap technology for IoT devices

RedCap technology reduces power consumption by 60% and device production costs by 50% to 70%.

Singtel, with Ericsson and MediatEK, has completed Singapore's first trial of “RedCap" on a live 5G network.

RedCap can support mid-tier Internet of Things (IoT) devices, like smartwatches and industrial sensors.

RedCap technology provides IoT devices with lower data flow and reliable connectivity, which reduces power consumption by 60%.

Through RedCap, businesses can address the challenges of battery replacements in IoT devices and lower device production costs by 50% to 70%.

It will also help facilitate the transition of IoT devices from Long-Term Evolution (LTE) to New Radio (NR) for better connectivity and more reliable user experiences to develop more innovative use cases.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
