The RedCap Rx255C Module Sequence from Quectel will assist in extending the attain of 5G into extra IoT functions and trade verticals.
The Snapdragon X35 5G modem-RF system from Qualcomm is the muse of the Rx255C line of 5G NR Diminished Functionality (RedCap) modules launched by Quectel. The wi-fi modules allow important measurement, vitality, and cost-effectiveness optimization whereas delivering low-latency 5G connection.
Wi-fi gadgets that don’t want the complete capabilities of 5G NR are addressed by the RedCap specification, which was added to 3GPP 5G NR Model 17. A variety of latest enterprise sectors and cell broadband situations, together with entry-level web, compute, industrial automation, good cities, good vitality, and good wearables, will profit from the attain of 5G expertise made doable 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 almost the entire main carriers globally and is backward-compatible with LTE networks. Theoretically, modules could transmit information at a peak charge of about 220 Mbps downlink and 100 Mbps uplink.
Prospects can fluctuate the variety of antennas, cut back the transmitting and receiving bandwidth, and select an non-compulsory 64QAM/256QAM modulation to cut back the fee and measurement of the Rx255C modules. It’s doable to make use of a broad number of interfaces, akin 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 will likely be made out there. On the time of this announcement, a datasheet wasn’t accessible.
