Evolving AMI 2.0 with 5G Redcap
Register Now
As the utility world evolves to 5G for its ability to reduce latency and access to higher bands like mmWave technology, the industry needs a lower-cost chipset. NR-Light, also known as RedCap (Reduced Capacity), is set to debut next year with chipsets that will enable a wide range of devices, from traffic cameras to parking meters. RedCap is not just a solution but a key player in this evolution, expected to integrate billions of new devices into global 5G networks and expand 5G applications across industries.
RedCap was incorporated into the Release 17 standard as NR-Light in 2022, with chipsets in 2024, promising a shift from LTE to more efficient 5G networks and expanding IoT applications. For utility customers transitioning their Field Area Networks to 5G, Redcap can be leveraged to address the growing need for low-cost, low-complexity wireless modems to connect these devices and support a variety of applications on a single 5G network.
This talk will discuss how RedCap devices can be leveraged for utility use cases including utility metering (AMI 2.0), Distribution Automation etc., among other general deployment topics. One such use case with SCE will explore how RedCap plays into their AMI 2.0 metering network strategy.
