5G RedCap Adoption Protocols
5G Reduced Capability (RedCap) is transforming the industrial landscape in Southeast Asia. Regulatory bodies like MCMC (Malaysia) and NBTC (Thailand) are leading the way in establishing dedicated testing standards.
Malaysia: MCMC Class Assignments
The MCMC has recently released a spectrum class assignment specific to RedCap devices operating in the n78 band. This simplifies the approval process for massive IoT deployments in manufacturing zones.
Singapore: IMDA Sandbox Success
Singapore's IMDA is offering a regulatory sandbox for companies testing advanced RedCap features, allowing for limited commercial deployment before full certification is finalized.
Manufacturers should prepare for these shifts by ensuring their radio architectures are compatible with regional Band 78 requirements.
