Mobile phone chipmaker MediaTek on Tuesday announced its first 5G modem "Helio M70" which, the company said, would be ready for commercial deployment in 2019.

"Commercial availability of the modem would start from 2019. Some of the partners are Nokia, NTT Docomo and Huawei," Joe Chen, President, Mediatek, told reporters here.

Notably, Helio M70 would be a new "radio modem" for 5G and the upcoming modem would provide a speed of 5Gbps.

The upcoming modem would also "support critical carrier features".

According to MediaTek, the modem would be available as a discrete solution.

The company will also launch an integrated SoC with a 5G modem but it might not come with the Helio M70.

Regarding the smartphones that would feature Mediatek's recently-launched Helio P22 processor, Chen said: "The company cannot reveal the name of the devices."

He, however, added that the mobile phone makers themselves would announce the same.

Expanding its "Helio P" family of power-efficient chips for mid-range devices, MediaTek launched Helio P22 processor in India last month.

MediaTek Helio P22 is the first to bring the 12nm manufacturing process to the mid-range mobile segment.

With P22 chipset, the chip maker would offer the benefits of Artificial Intelligence (AI) accelerated experiences, brilliant photography and reliable, high-speed connectivity to more affordable devices, thus, expanding the "new premium" market.

MediaTek to Win the 5G Competition by Alliance and Independent R&D

　　The 3GPP standard conference will be held in Taipei, Taiwan, next week. To foster the local 5G supply chain in Taiwan, MediaTek, a key organizer of the conference, strove for keeping the event to be held in Taiwan with the aim of developing universal standards. Huang He-qi, general manager of the design and development department of MediaTek's communication system, pointed out that for the current situation of 5G, MediaTek will adopt the countermeasures of "wide-scale alliance and independent R&D".　　The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is a standard organization dedicating to the development of 5G mobile communication in the world. There are more than 200 international companies participate in and even been called the Olympia Committee of communication standards. Because the standard drafting is like a tug-of-war match, major international companies are hoping to stand in a favorable position to seize the opportunity. Huang He-qi described: "It is a kind of competition, and everybody has their own strategies in it."　　He pointed out that because each company has its technical position, therefore they will push their own technical proposals in the specifications to win its best interests. Huang explained that by pushing the proposal into a standard, in addition to being able to apply for a patent, it is also beneficial for the company to establish a technical threshold, so that competitors have no way to break through, and thus make their products more competitive.　　Facing of this situation, Huang said that MediaTek will take the countermeasure of " wide-scale alliance and independent research" strategy. But he pointed out that the forming alliance is only a short term approach, and more importantly is to build deep technology and with flexible strategies.　　MediaTek emphasizes that the development of 5G technology should not be a solo play, but needs to join hands with industrial partners to create an ecosystem.　　Huang said that the Release 15 version was released in December last year. This year, it will be adjusted for more detail. The Release 16 version is expected to be announced in March 2020. He revealed that MediaTek is also expected to launch related products in 2020 to meet customer needs.

MediaTek Launches Newest Combo Chip with Wi-Fi 6 and AP+Bluetooth

MediaTek announced its newest intelligent connectivity chipset to support the next generation of Wi-Fi technology - Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) - for home and enterprise wireless network services. It will support a range of products including wireless access points, routers, gateways and repeaters, bringing faster and more reliable connectivity throughout the smart home.MediaTek’s Wi-Fi 6 chips support 2x2 and 4x4 which comply with the most updated standards. The Wi-Fi 6 chip also has a flexible architecture to support updated features when the Wi-Fi 6 specification is finalized later in 2019.“Consumers rely on our high performance connectivity portfolio to power their favorite intelligent devices, and now with support for next generation Wi-Fi 6 we deliver an even more, robust and seamless connectivity experience,” said Jerry Yu General Manager of MediaTek’s Intelligent Devices business unit. “We will continue to innovate and bring the most advanced technology and standards to consumer and enterprise markets.” MediaTek currently holds market-leading positions in powering TVs, streaming devices, smart speakers, voice assistant devices and tablets.MediaTek also brings unique built-in solutions to its chipset along with meeting the newest Wi-Fi standard to improve the end-users experience. MediaTek connectivity technology, empowered with OFDMA, 1024QAM solves data traffic conflicts. It reschedules multi-user’s packets and provides a higher internet data rate so there is no lag while playing on-line games or streaming video.It also delivers better concurrent performance between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with the latest Wi-Fi 6 access point + Bluetooth combo chip to guarantee spectrum efficiency when two radios work simultaneously.MediaTek also supports and is leading the deployment of the Wi-Fi Alliance EasyMesh standard for extended Wi-Fi coverage. MediaTek’s family of smart home chipsets will be EasyMesh compatible. The new standard extends the Wi-Fi signal for total access in the home or even into the backyard.

Mediatek Targets China, Snapdragon

Mediatek Targets China, Snapdragon

Mediatek announced its next-generation smartphone SoC just one week after archrival Qualcomm did the same. The Helio P90 falls short of the Snapdragon 855 in many respects but is likely to provide fierce competition a notch below flagship handsets, especially among China’s cost-conscious OEMs.Made in a 12-nm node, the P90 sports two Cortex-75 cores running at up to 2.2 GHz and six A55 cores at 2.0 GHz. By contrast, the 7-nm Snapdragon 855 uses four large cores, one running up to 2.84 GHz and three at 2.42 GHz, and four of the A55 cores at 1.80 GHz.Mediatek switched from a 4 × 4 configuration in its former P70, in which it ran A73 and A53 cores at 2.1 and 2.2 GHz, respectively, apparently not wringing much speed gains out of the 12-nm process. The use of a 2 × 6 configuration signals a strategy focused more on power efficiency.In connectivity, the P90 supports LTE Category 13 with 3× carrier aggregation (CA) up from Cat 7 with 2× CA, claiming downloads at up to 600 Mbits/s. It also supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi with 2 × 2 MIMO.For its part, the Snapdragon 855 integrates a Category 20 LTE modem supporting 7× carrier aggregation and two flavors of Wi-Fi — the 60-GHz 802.11ay and the pre-standard .11ax, both claiming to be capable of 10-Gbit/s data rates. In addition, Qualcomm pitches the 855 with its separate 5G modem, powering first-generation 5G handsets from Samsung and OnePlus early next year in sub-6-GHz and millimeter-wave bands.Mediatek has an M70 standalone 5G modem, but “we’re not certain how widely it will be made available commercially … we’re looking at going directly to an integrated SoC product rather than a standalone modem and focus on sub-6 GHz, aiming for customer products launching in late 2019 or early 2020,” said Russ Mestechkin, senior director of sales and business development at Mediatek.“Our focus is to commercialize our SoC for mainstream handsets at $500+ as opposed to ultra-premium models at $1,000+,” he added.Mediatek won sockets in the 2016 and 2017 models of China’s rising handset makers, but Qualcomm has been regaining ground with them this year. It’s a pitched battle in which Mediatek is “starting to win back share with Xiaomi and Vivo … Oppo and Vivo are also using its P50 in mid- to high-end products, which will bear fruit in 4Q18,” said Phil Solis, who tracks handset SoCs at International Data Corp.When it comes to 5G, “I expect they will gain back some market share by 1H20, but they are far behind” he said. “In the meantime, Mediatek will focus on its growth areas of smart speakers, TVs, IoT devices, and other consumer products for their processors and connectivity.”Both Mediatek and Qualcomm made AI acceleration a focus in multiple blocks of their latest chips.For the P90, Mediatek doubled the size of the so-called APU in the P70, which includes multiply-accumulate arrays for running machine-learning jobs. It also added a proprietary AI accelerator. The two blocks, combined with a PowerVR GM 9446 GPU running at 970 MHz, deliver 1,127 GMACs/s with software optimizations still ahead.The number falls far short of the 7 Tera tensor operations/s on 8-bit integer jobs that Qualcomm claims for its 855. But both sides agree that the benchmarks are less telling than performance on actual AI workloads, which vary widely.The Helio P90 beat the Snapdragon 845 and others on one AI benchmark.

Its NeuroPilot software can dynamically assign AI jobs and supports third-party frameworks, said the company without listing which ones.The P90 can drive dual 24- and 16-MP cameras or one 48-MP camera with video capture at up to 30 fps. It includes dedicated blocks to speed face recognition as well as accelerators for processing 3D depth maps, multi-frame noise reduction, and lens correction.
