Fibocom recently debuted the ready-to-market 5G RedCap plus Wi-Fi 5/6 solution developed from the 5G RedCap module FG131, positioned to accelerate the commercialisation of 5G FWA in the form of CPE, mobile hotspot and USB dongle, to satisfy diverse market demands.
According to a report updated in September 2024, GSA has identified 143 operators in 61 countries and territories worldwide that have been investing in public 5G SA )(Standalone) networks through trials, planned or actual deployments.
With the implementation of 5G SA network infrastructure, 5G-enabled FWA shipments became mainstream, reaching 10.2 million in 2023. The growth of 5G FWA CPE shipments is expected to accelerate further, accounting for 42% of shipments in 2024 compared with 34% in 2023, according to the CPE Vendor Survey released by GSA in August 2024.
The launch of Fibocom’s ready-to-market 5G RedCap plus Wi-Fi 5/6 solution is a 5G lightweight solution accelerating the migration from 4G FWA to 5G FWA, elevating the Quality-of-Service with faster network connection, more-agile network slices services and reliability in 5G SA network environment.
Leveraging 5G SA network coverage, optimised power-saving, and reduced complexity, 5G RedCap is gaining more and more attention within the IoT industry.
The Fibocom 5G RedCap module FG131 offers a high-performance and ultra-reliable wireless solution for application scenarios that are cost-sensitive and power-enduring. Packaged in LGA form factor at the size of 37mm*39.5mm, Fibocom FG131 is pin-compatible with Fibocom LTE Cat 6 module FG101 and FG621 series that allows smooth migration from 4G to 5G RedCap.
