5G RedCap represents a significant advancement in 5G technology, previously known as NR Light. This new standard strikes the ideal balance of 5G capabilities, offering low latency, high peak data rates, and maximum capacity.

“5G RedCap doesn’t mean diminished benefits. In fact, it is tailored to meet the specific needs of various use cases and devices. It provides an excellent compromise for a challenge that has been awaiting a practical solution since the widespread adoption of 5G,” explained Olandres.
Art Samaniego, Information and Communications Technology Head at Manila Bulletin, highlighted the numerous advantages of 5G RedCap for Filipino households. These include increased capacity for more connected devices, innovations in smart home technology, stable performance for wearables, and more reliable connectivity for remote work, online learning, and micro-businesses.
“5G RedCap technology unlocks remarkable opportunities for Filipino households. From enhanced network capacity to improved smart home automation, dependable connections for work and education, and better performance for wearables, RedCap truly brings the future into our homes. It signifies a smarter, safer, and more efficient way of living, bridging the gap between advanced technology and everyday practical benefits,” Samaniego remarked.
Both Samaniego and Olandres emphasized that RedCap is crucial for the broader adoption of 5G technology. This innovation will facilitate the connection of more devices to 5G networks, thereby expanding the 5G ecosystem and driving its growth across the Philippines.
