Swedish vendor Ericsson said it has successfully carried out tests on Malaysia’s 5G network deployed by Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) for what it claimed to be the first implementation and validation in Southeast Asia of Ericsson’s pre-commercial Reduced Capability (RedCap) software.
The vendor said tht the tests were carried out in collaboration with MediaTek, using its 5G RedCap test platform in Malaysia.
RedCap is a new radio access network (RAN) software solution that enhances existing 5G use cases and enables new ones for devices such as smartwatches, other wearables and industrial sensors by lowering complexity and extending battery life.
