5G RedCap vs LTE-M

In this article, I explored a critical decision facing enterprises today: whether to continue investing in LTE-M or transition to 5G RedCap for IoT and mobility solutions. I researched and authored a comprehensive comparison of these technologies, breaking down their capabilities, use cases, and long-term implications for businesses operating in mission-critical environments.

My goal was to help enterprise decision-makers understand why 5G RedCap is emerging as the connectivity standard of choice, offering higher performance, lower latency, and scalability without the complexity of full-scale 5G. This piece also highlighted industry momentum, carrier adoption, and how OEMs like Rhino Mobility are enabling this shift.
