MediaTek Unveils New M80 5G Modem with mmWave Support| Beebom

With 5G engineering gaining pace in the market, companies are working difficult to develop it further to offer customers stable and super-fast network connections. In keeping upward with the development, Taiwan-based chipmakers MediaTek today announced their new 5G-based modem with support for both mmWave and Sub-half-dozen GHz 5G network.

Dubbed the MediaTek M80, the new modem will back up "ultra-fast speeds on both non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) architectures". It will also deliver speeds upward to vii.67 Gbps in the downlink and up to 3.76 Gbps in the uplink. It will back up dual 5G SIM, dual 5G networks (both NSA and SA), and dual Voice over New Radio (VoNR). These are packed in the new M80 to provide users with more 5G options and reliable network connections.

MediaTek, as yous might know, is pushing 5G engineering science in the market with its portfolio of 5G SoCs such every bit the latest Dimensity 1100 and 1200 chipsets. So, with the M80 modem supporting both mmWave and Sub-half dozen GHz 5G networks, MediaTek aims to give smartphone manufacturers more flexibility with integrating 5G network support in their upcoming devices.

The visitor notes that its 5G line of modems can be "platonic for a range of devices" such as smartphones, PCs, Mi-Fi hotspots, industrial IoT applications, and others. So, the new M80 has been thoroughly tested against industry standards, providing worldwide operators support for a full range of radio access technologies. These include:

3GPP Release 16 standard
Sub-6 GHz and mmWave dual connectivity and carrier aggregation
5G NR (FR1) with more than ii carrier aggregation
5G mmWave (FR2) up to 8CC
5G carrier aggregation with Mixed Duplex (TDD + FDD)
Dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) ready

Apart from these, the M80 comes with the company's 5G UltraSave technologies, on top of a power-conserving single-chip design, that enhances the fleck'southward power-saving capabilities. It also integrates the company's UltraSave Network Environment Detection and UltraSave OTA Content Sensation technologies to "dynamically adjust ability configuration and operating frequency based on the network environment".

Moreover, there is the company's Dynamic Bandwidth Part (BWP) technology that optimizes the use of bandwidth to support low-cal or heavy data requests. Lastly, the M80 will exist able to remain powered in continued standby fifty-fifty when there is no data-related activity as it features Connected Manner DRX (C-DRX) technology.

"As 5G rollouts accelerate, mmWave is becoming increasingly important, particularly in the U.S. MediaTek's new 5G modem integrates support for both sub-6 GHz and mmWave networks to accost this opportunity and give device makers more flexibility. To advance users' 5G experiences, the new modem supports the latest global cellular standards and specifications and it packs MediaTek's signature ability savings technologies along with ultra-fast speeds", said JC Hsu, the Corporate VP, and the Full general Director of MediaTek's Wireless Communications Concern.

The company expects the new M80 modem to reach customers later this yr with the upcoming 5G devices.
