MediaTek Unveils New M80 5G Modem with Support for mmWave and Sub-6 GHz 5G Networks New modem supports SA and NSA architectures, with a peak speed of 7.67 Gbps HSINCHU, Taiwan – Feb. 1, 2021 – MediaTek today announced its new M80 5G modem which combines mmWave and sub-6 GHz 5G technologies onto a single chip. The M80 supports ultra-fast speeds on both non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) architectures, with a peak rate of 7.67 Gbps in the downlink and 3.76 Gbps in the uplink. The M80 also supports dual 5G SIM, dual 5G NSA and SA networks, and dual Voice over New Radio (VoNR) for more reliable connectivity. “As 5G rollouts accelerate, mmWave is becoming increasingly important, especially in the U.S. MediaTek’s new 5G modem integrates support for both sub-6 GHz and mmWave networks to bridge this gap and give device makers more flexibility,” said JC Hsu, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of MediaTek’s Wireless Communications Business Unit. “To advance users’ 5G experiences, the new modem supports the latest global cellular standards and specifications and it packs MediaTek’s signature power savings technologies along with ultra-fast speeds.” MediaTek’s 5G modems are ideal for a range of devices, including smartphones, PCs, Mi-Fi hotspots, broadband customer premise equipment (CPE), industrial IoT applications and more. MediaTek’s first generation 5G modem, the M70, is built into MediaTek’s Dimensity series of powerful and powerefficient chipsets for 5G smartphones. The M80 has been tested against industry standards and is expected to sample with customers later in 2021. It offers operators around the world support for a full range of radio access technologies:  3GPP Release 16 standard  5G sub-6 GHz (FR1) with carrier aggregation across FDD and TDD (FDD-FDD, FDD-TDD, TDD-TDD)  5G mmWave (FR2) up to 800MHz  Sub-6 GHz and mmWave dual connectivity and carrier aggregation  Dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) ready  Connectivity aware, dynamic combinations of FR1+FR2 or FR1+FR1 to provide a better, allaround 5G user experience The M80 integrates MediaTek’s 5G UltraSave technologies which improve on the single-chip design to provide another layer of extensive power-saving enhancements. MediaTek’s UltraSave Network Environment Detection and UltraSave OTA Content Awareness technologies dynamically adjust power configuration and operating frequency based on the network environment. The M80 also integrates MediaTek’s Dynamic Bandwidth Part (BWP) technology which is designed to optimize bandwidth use to accommodate light or heavy data throughput requests. Additionally, with the M80’s Connected Mode DRX (C-DRX) technology the modem will regularly remain powered in connected standby even when there is no data activity. ______________________________________________________________________________ MediaTek Twitter | YouTube | Facebook | Website MediaTek works closely with operators and partners around the world to bring consumers faster and more reliable 5G experiences.
