The key work contents of the “Notice” attached to Gamingdeputy are as follows:
Standards build the foundation to realize the penetration of 5G RedCap technical standards
Promote the 5G RedCap standard process,It is planned to complete the formulation of the 5G RedCap industry standard based on the 3GPP R17 version by September 2024, and build a full series of test standard systems covering base stations, terminals, general modules and other equipment.
Putting the network first, completing the 5G RedCap network connection
Carry out 5G RedCap product research and development based on application requirements to support key capabilities such as high-precision positioning and 5G local area network (5G LAN). 5G industry virtual private networks that have been built in key industry areas have been upgraded and opened with 5G RedCap on demand, and new 5G industry virtual private networks support 5G RedCap.Encourage industry enterprises to continue to explore new scenarios.It is planned to achieve continuous coverage in more than 100 urban areas at prefecture level and above by December 2024, and extend coverage to county towns as needed..
Capacity upgrade to speed up 5G RedCap chip module penetration
Encourage chip companies to strengthen technological research, complete the research and development of no less than 3 chips and promote industrialization. Organize and carry out protocol consistency and network compatibility testing of 5G RedCap chips to continuously improve chip performance. Accelerate the process of module industrialization, improve module product capabilities and adaptability to terminals, and combine with market demand to further drive down the price of 5G RedCap modules.

Rich products to promote 5G RedCap terminal penetration
We have strengthened application research based on actual needs, enriched the supply of terminal products, and launched more than 100 5G RedCap terminal products around industrial gateways, cameras, automatic guided vehicles (AGVs), etc., to meet the application needs of power, industry, security and other fields.
Demonstration drive to strengthen the integration of 5G RedCap application scenarios
Explore the innovative applications of 5G RedCap in key scenarios such as data collection, video surveillance, power load control, and mobile office, develop standardized 5G RedCap solutions, and promote promotion and application in key industries.Explore innovative applications for mass consumption such as smart cars and smart wearables based on 5G RedCap. Organize and launch the first batch of 5G RedCap innovative application collection activities to create a number of demonstration and benchmark projects.
Security escort to promote the penetration of 5G RedCap security capabilities
Strengthen network and data security risk assessment before 5G RedCap is launched and commercially launched,Promote the research and development of key technologies such as terminal access certification and protocol security testing for 5G RedCapforming a batch of excellent security products and solutions to enhance 5G RedCap security capabilities.
Strengthen guarantees to ensure full penetration of 5G RedCap
According to the division of responsibilities, local communications bureaus and industry and information technology authorities dynamically monitor the opening and application of 5G RedCap networks in their regions.The 5G application industry phalanx organizes research on the 5G RedCap construction and application evaluation system to provide support for enterprises in various regions to promote 5G RedCap integration..
