In partnership with China Mobile, Mediatek announced its first 5G baseband chipset – the Mediatek Helio M70 at the just concluded China Mobile Global Partner Conference in Guangzhou. It is among the industry’s first wave of 5G multi-mode integrated baseband chipsets.
In line with the booming 5G market, the Mediatek Helio M70 is a multimode chipset with 2G/3G/4G/5G-enabled support. It supports 5G radio (NR) along with standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) network architectures for faster connectivity, high power user equipment (HPUE) and other key 5G technologies.
It is designed in compliance with the 3GPP Rel-15 new specifications with 5 Gbps data rate. It supports LTE and 5G dual connectivity (EN-DC) while also ensuring that mobile devices are backward compatible with 4G/3G/2G in the absence of 5G networks.
The Mediatek Helio M70 is also paired with the open architecture of the NeuroPilot AI platform. It is expected to arrive in the second half of 2019.
Commenting on the launch, general manager of MediaTek Wireless Communications Division, TL Lee said;
“MediaTek is committed to promoting the adoption of the latest technologies. With the commercialization of the first 5G baseband chipset, Helio M70, consumers will be able to enjoy the exciting 5G experience from a mature and complete solution. In the future, 5G and AI application areas will continue to grow, enhancing the connected experience for users in areas such as mobile phones or smart living.”
