Semtech Achieves 5G RedCap Certification with AT&T
Semtech shared a key milestone in 5G RedCap (reduced capacity) rollout. The company’s EM8695 5G RedCap module, powered by the Snapdragon X35 5G Modem-RF System, has earned FCC and PTCRB certifications, paving the way for carrier certifications across North America. Additionally, successful testing and certification on AT&T’s RedCap network underscores the module’s readiness to enable robust and scalable 5G RedCap connectivity. These achievements mark a critical step toward enabling widespread adoption of 5G RedCap technology for mid-range IoT applications, including wearable, wireless industrial sensors, video surveillance, asset tracking and mid-speed computing devices.
Recent industry projections emphasize RedCap's critical role in driving IoT growth. According to Omdia, global RedCap connections are expected to surge from 27.6 million in 2023 to 963.5 million by 2030. By 2030, Rethink Research predicts that RedCap variants will comprise nearly one-third of all cellular IoT connections, highlighting its growing adoption and importance in the industry. “As the industry moves toward 5G, a new generation of wireless modules are needed. Semtech is leading the drive for innovation and enabling the next wave of IoT deployments,” said Cameron Coursey, vice president, AT&T Connected Solutions. ...
