Mediatek introduced its first 5g modem, helium m70

MediaTek presented its first 5G chipset, the Helio M70 modem at the China Mobile Global Partner Conference in Guangzhou.

The Helio M70 is a multimode chipset with support for 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G

The Helio M70 is one of the first 5G multi-mode integrated baseband chipsets in the industry.

The Helio M70 is a multimode chipset with support for 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G. It supports 5G radio (NR), along with autonomous (SA) and non-autonomous (NSA) network architectures, the frequency band below 6GHz, high-power user equipment (HPUE) and other key 5G technologies.

According to MediaTek, it follows the new 3GPP Rel-15 specifications with a data rate of 5 Gbps, an important step in data transmission speed.

The chip supports dual LTE and 5G (EN-DC) connectivity and ensures that mobile devices are compatible with 4G / 3G / 2G when there are no 5G networks.

This simplifies the design of 5G devices, allowing device manufacturers to design mobile devices with a smaller form factor, better energy efficiency and a competitive look, MediaTek said.

The team has been working with China Mobile on the development of 5G, MediaTek supports not only the development of 5G standards, but also the construction of an ecosystem to support it by operators, who will have to slowly improve their plants. so that this type of connection will spread throughout the world.

The MediaTek Helio M70 baseband chipset is expected to be available in the second half of 2019, which is why many new smartophones will start having 5G from those dates onwards.
