Rutronik has expanded its wireless portfolio by offering Telit Cinterion’s 5G RedCap module FE910C04 and the M.2 card FN920C04. The industry-standard modules are suitable for use in a range of applications, from campus network applications to private and public 5G applications.
5G RedCap, also known as NR RedCap (New Radio Reduced Capabilities), closes the mid-speed gap between 4G and high-speed 5G, making it perfect for corresponding use cases in the areas of logistics, smart home, machines, measuring devices, eHealth and industrial sensors. It has been touted as the right technology for IoT applications, which require higher data speeds with lower cost.
5G RedCap improves performance and efficiency compared with LTE and promises maximum flexibility, enabling customers to make an easy transition to a secure 5G future.
The FE910C04 enables mid-speed 5G connectivity based on the latest 3GPP Release 17 RedCap technology. Its robust design boosts performance and efficiency, providing resilient and future-proof 5G connectivity for the most demanding IoT applications. It is part of the Telit Cinterion xE910 flagship module family and offers 5G NR radio access technology in the product family’s 28.2 x 28.2 x 2.2 mm form factor.
Additionally, the M.2 data card FN920C04 enables mid-speed 5G connectivity and is based on the latest 3GPP Release 17 RedCap technology. It is industrial-grade (-40°C to +85°C), rugged, suitable for worldwide use, and features improved uplink performance, power-saving capabilities, and LTE Cat 4 fallback for optimal network coverage.
The module and M.2 card improve operational efficiency and provide accurate GNSS positioning by supporting L1 and L5 frequencies, complemented by a dedicated antenna connector. The integrated processing capabilities enable full activation of connectivity supported by the Telit Cinterion OneEdge platform. These modules are also equipped with integrated security features to protect the devices and ensure secure communication between the device and the Cloud.
