RedCap and the 5G Evolution: Opportunities and Considerations for Utility Networks

As utilities transition toward 5G to support faster, lower-latency communications, a growing challenge is balancing performance with cost and complexity. Enter RedCap (Reduced Capability), also known as NR-Light—a 3GPP Release 17 feature designed to deliver 5G connectivity to lower-power, lower-cost devices without the full capabilities—and costs—of traditional 5G modules.
Utilities are now exploring RedCap and the upcoming enhanced RedCap (eRedCap) as options to reshape utility communications with scalable, cost-effective connectivity for applications such as Distribution Automation, grid monitoring, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and other Field Area Network (FAN) deployments.
With RedCap chipsets becoming commercially available and eRedCap enhancements introduced in 3GPP Release 18, these device classes present new possibilities for modernizing infrastructure while managing total cost of ownership.
This webinar will explore the technical and strategic considerations of adopting RedCap and eRedCap in utility environments. Topics will include:
•            How RedCap and eRedCap compare to 5G
•            Benefits such as reduced power consumption and smaller module size
•            Considerations including bandwidth and speed
•            Use cases for utilities across grid operations and infrastructure monitoring
•            Deployment and integration challenges in real-world scenarios
Attendees will hear from Nokia and Southern California Edison technology leaders and gain a practical understanding of how RedCap-class devices—both current and emerging—can support a scalable, future-ready utility network, and what trade-offs to consider in technology selection and deployment planning.
