Leading SoC developer, MediaTek, has announced a collaboration with Intel to bring 5G experiences to next-gen Intel-powered PCs with the successful development and certification of Mediatek 5G modem data card.
MediaTek's T700 5G modem, which will be used to bring 5G connectivity to Intel-powered PCs, completed 5G standalone (SA) calls in real world test scenarios. Additionally, Intel has progressed on system integration, validation and developing platform optimizations for a superior user experience and is readying co-engineering support for its OEM partners. MediaTek and Intel are both committed to delivering a superior user experience.
The MediaTek T700 modem supports non-standalone and standalone Sub-6 GHz 5G network architectures to deliver consistently faster speeds and more reliable connectivity. Whether consumers are at home or on the go, they can browse, stream and game at ultra-fast 5G speeds. The modem is also highly power efficient to extend the battery life of laptops so consumers can go longer in between charges. MediaTek is rolling out its advanced 5G technology across the PC, mobile, home, auto and IoT segments to make super-fast connectivity accessible to everyone.
The first laptops enabled by the MediaTek and Intel 5G modem solution are expected in early 2021. Click here to learn more about MediaTek's 5G technology.
