The migration of cellular networks from non-standalone (NSA) to standalone (SA) 5G introduces a major opportunity for IoT; the advent of RedCap devices.
The EM8695 is Semtech’s first-generation 5G RedCap module, compliant with 3GPP Release 17 Sub-6 and 3GPP Release 16 LTE radio performance. Supporting 25 worldwide 5G NR bands and 29 LTE bands, the EM8695 is ideal for global deployment with approval from multiple NAM, EMEA, and APAC carriers. Supporting USB 2.0 interface with enhanced uplink performance, high power user equipment (HPUE) features, and power saving features, the EM8695 is an ideal solution for customers looking to migrate from LTE CAT4/6 to 5G. For areas not yet covered by 5G SA, the EM8695 falls back to 4G, offering the benefits of RedCap where available while assuring reliable connectivity elsewhere.
The EM8695 supports 5G bands that are licensed for private 5G networks, making it a perfect choice for IoT developments intended for smart industry applications.
