According to research, the 5G device landscape is rapidly evolving to meet the diverse needs of a variety of use cases, from smartphones to specialized Internet of Things (IoT) and emerging battery-less ambient IoT devices. , highlighting the versatile future of 5G technology. Mobile industry association 5G Americas.
The explanatory materials include Devices evolving toward 5G deploymentFrom an organization whose mission is to advance and advocate for the advancement of 5G across the Americas and beyond, we examine the evolution of 5G devices and help optimize and adapt 5G technology for a wide range of use cases. I shined a light on it. Indeed, the association says this evolving landscape presents exciting opportunities across IoT, XR and beyond.
The paper covers a variety of current and future 5G devices, from smartphones to the recently announced Reduced Capability (RedCap) and battery-less ambient IoT devices. 5G Americas has categorized these devices based on various factors, focusing on optimizing his IoT applications in terms of complexity, performance, and efficiency.
Focusing on device characteristics, the paper found that device functionality remains important as 5G reshapes global communications. Specifically, he pointed out that characteristics such as mobility, bandwidth, size, accessibility, cost, security, coverage, battery life, and radio access technology will influence the design and functionality of his 5G devices for various applications. Did.
The study points out that extending beyond smartphones into the device environment, the device ecosystem is rapidly growing to include AR glasses, voice-enabled devices, and specialized IoT technologies. These developments are transforming the industry, improving communication and enabling remote medical monitoring, the company said.
Devices with degraded functionality were also a major focus of the study. Initially, the company notes that 5G New Radio technology was focused on enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) applications. 3GPP subsequently introduced the RedCap specification in Release 17 to address low-throughput, cost-effective, and energy-efficient use cases. These devices are said to offer a balanced solution between data speed, latency, and battery life.
Ambient IoT devices have received a lot of attention because they operate solely on energy harvested from the environment and do not require batteries. He noted that 5G Americas, which is characterized by its small size, low cost, and ultra-low power consumption, has applications in various fields such as inventory management and environmental sensing.
Chris Pearson, president of 5G Americas, commented on the study: “The evolution of 5G devices will mean a dynamic shift in connectivity, transforming industries and empowering individuals. From the power of smartphones to the potential of ambient IoT, in this briefing he explores the future of 5G devices. reveals the diversity of
Yoochul Kim, principal engineer at Qualcomm Technologies and co-leader of the 5G Americas regional project working group, added: This is a testament to the continued innovation towards new services offered by the 5G industry. ”
