GCT Semiconductor Holding (“GCT”), a leading designer and supplier of advanced 4G and 5G semiconductor solutions, has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Samsung Electronics (Samsung) that aims to accelerate the development of 4G/5G chipsets and modules, as well as drive the adoption by device makers. GCT will work together with Samsung to promote the total Samsung/GCT solution and to strengthen the ecosystem of OEM/ODM device makers in order to support wireless operators worldwide, including the Saudi Arabian oil group Aramco, in the 450 MHz and 4.0 GHz business, mission-critical public safety, and more.
With the growing need to connect everyone and everything, 5G plays a crucial role in delivering higher data speed, higher reliability and massive network capacity. Using GCT’s 5G chip, GCT is focused on advancing the 5G ecosystem of OEM and ODM device makers for CPEs, mobile routers, ruggedized industrial phones, IoT devices, and more. Samsung will provide test environments as well as interoperability and device testing (IoDT) support for GCT’s chipset certification.
“GCT is pleased to continue collaboration with its long-standing partner Samsung,” said John Schlaefer, CEO of GCT. “We look forward to expanding the 4G/5G ecosystem in Saudi Arabia and beyond, and supporting 5G and 4G wireless operators with their rising needs as they address increasing demand for faster data speed and more capacity.”
