Solutions for Satellite Connectivity, 5G, mmWave, & More
MediaTek's 3GPP standards-based 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) solution brings two-way satellite communications to smartphones and other devices. At MediaTek's booth, MWC attendees can check out some of the brand-new devices powered by MediaTek's NTN solutions. MediaTek will also demonstrate the company's next-generation New Radio NTN (NR-NTN) technology for the first time.
In addition to ushering in a new era of satellite connectivity, MediaTek is focused on delivering the fastest and most reliable 5G connectivity to consumers. One example the company will show is its advanced Access Traffic Steering, Switching, and Splitting (ATSSS) technology. MediaTek and Deutsche Telekom recently conducted the world's-first proof of concept for the ATSSS 3GPP Release 16 (R16) standard, using a MediaTek Dimensity 9200 flagship chipset. This demonstrates converged multi-access connectivity for a seamless and enhanced customer experience.
As a first key use case implemented in a lab setup, the ATSSS handover functionality helps guarantee stable voice and video call quality by switching from cellular 5G to Wi-Fi and vice-versa, ensuring the user can enjoy the best connection without interruption. The solution works with both existing cellular access networks as well as Wi-Fi access points, making it easy to improve customer experience and network performance in a cost-efficient way.
MediaTek will also demonstrate 5G mmWave beam technology to improve connection performance and reliability in cooperation with Ericsson. In addition, MediaTek will be showcasing its 5G UltraSave for mmWave with Keysight 5G Network Emulation Solutions, explaining how its technology optimizes hardware and software design to extend battery life during high-speed data transmission for a variety of 5G-enabled devices.
