Ericsson has recently announced its new Reduced Capability (RedCap) solution as reported by TelecomTalk. Building upon this achievement, Ericsson has collaborated with MediaTek to perform interoperability development testing (IoDT). According to Ericsson, this testing focused on testing the capabilities of Ericsson’s RedCap software, a radio access network (RAN) solution, to enhance the performance and efficiency of 5G devices.

Ericsson and MediaTek Advance 5G Device Capabilities
Ericsson said its RedCap software, a radio access network (RAN) software, was tested in both Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD) spectrum bands. The test demonstrated the capability of Ericsson RedCap to enhance 5G use cases, particularly for devices like wearables, sensors, and industrial surveillance cameras, with improved battery efficiency.
The key highlights of the RedCap Interoperability for 5G SA include the following :
IoDT Test and Results
The IoDT took place at an Ericsson lab in Sweden using pre-commercial Ericsson RedCap software and MediaTek’s RedCap testing platform. The testing included both FDD and TDD data calls.
The FDD data call achieved throughput speeds of 220 Mbps for downlink and 74 Mbps for uplink. The TDD data call reached a downlink speed of 153 Mbps and an uplink speed of 13.5 Mbps. These speeds are considered suitable for various devices, such as consumer wearables and industrial sensors enabled by Ericsson RedCap.
RedCap’s Capabilities
Ericsson RedCap software enables data and Voice over New Radio (VoNR) calls on both FDD and TDD spectrum bands. This is expected to open up new possibilities for a range of devices that do not require the full performance capabilities of 5G.
