Integrated new 5G mobile platform with built-in 5G modem HelioM70, mediatek reduces the volume of the entire 5G chip with world-leading technology, integrating the world's advanced technology into a tiny design. Containing ARM's latest cortex-a77cpu, mali-g77gpu and mediatek's most advanced independent AI processing unit APU, it can fully meet 5G power and performance requirements, providing ultra-fast connection and extreme user experience.

This multi-mode 5G mobile platform is applicable to the sub-6ghz band of 5G independent and non-independent (SA/NSA) network architecture, and supports the connection technology from 2G to 4G, so that the existing network can still be accessed before the global 5G deployment.

Chen guanzhou, general manager of mediatek, said all the functions of the chip are designed for the first flagship 5G terminals. The cutting-edge technology of the mobile platform makes it the most powerful 5GSoC to date. Mediatek will not only be at the forefront of 5GSoC design, but also add powerful power to high-end 5G devices.

Mediatek's 5G mobile platform released this time integrates 5G modem HelioM70 and adopts energy-saving packaging. This design is superior to the solution of external 5G baseband chip and can achieve higher transmission rate with lower power consumption, creating a comprehensive ultra-high-speed 5G solution for terminal mobile phone manufacturers.

Mediatek's 5G mobile platform will send samples to major customers in the third quarter of 2019, and the first batch of 5G terminals equipped with the mobile platform will enter the market in the first quarter of 2020 at the earliest. The complete technical specifications of mediatek 5G chips will be released in the next few months. Its integrated 5G chip functions and technologies for sub-6ghz band include:

5G modem HelioM70: the 5G chip integrates mediatek technology HelioM705G modem.

It has 4.7Gbps download speed and 2.5Gbps upload speed

Intelligent energy saving function and comprehensive power management

Multi-mode support - 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G connections, as well as dynamic power distribution, providing users with seamless connectivity experience

New AI architecture: equipped with a new independent AI processing unit APU, supporting more advanced AI applications. These include image processing techniques that remove blurring from images, allowing users to take great pictures even when the object is moving quickly.

Latest CPU technology: mediatek 5G chip is equipped with the latest armcortex-a77cpu, which has strong performance.

State-of-the-art gpus: the latest and most powerful ARMMali-G77GPU delivers seamless, extreme streaming and gaming experiences at 5G speeds.

Innovative 7nmFinFET: the world's first 5G chip with advanced 7nm technology, achieving significant energy saving in a minimal package.

High-speed throughput: the peak throughput reaches 4.7Gps download speed (sub-6ghz frequency band), supports new air port (NR) two-component carrier (CC), supports non-independent (NSA) and independent (SA) 5G networking architecture.

Powerful multimedia and image performance: 4K video encoding/decoding supporting 60fps, and ultra-high resolution camera (80MP)

"The industry, mobile phone brand customers and consumers have high expectations for 5G," said Chen guanzhou, general manager of mediatek. We firmly believe that mediatek 5G mobile platform, with its excellent architecture, leading imaging function, powerful AI and super-fast 5G connection speed, will enable terminal devices equipped with the 5G mobile platform to bring unparalleled user experience to consumers."

Consumers are undoubtedly the ultimate beneficiaries of mediatek's move into the high-end 5G mobile platform market, and tougher competition will help drive the launch of more next-generation 5G devices, thus exposing more users to advanced technologies.

Mediatek 5G mobile platform integrated modem HelioM70 supports LTE and 5G double connection (en-dc), with dynamic power distribution function, and supports all generation cellular networks from 2G to 5G. It USES dynamic bandwidth switching technology to allocate 5G bandwidth to specific applications, increasing the power efficiency of modems by 50% and extending the battery life of terminal devices.

Mediatek has worked with leading mobile operators, equipment manufacturers and suppliers to verify the pre-commercial status of its 5G technology in the mobile communication equipment market.

Mediatek also works closely with 5G component suppliers and global operators in the field of RF technology to quickly bring complete, standards-based optimized 5G solutions to the market. Companies cooperating with mediatek in RF technology include OPPO, vivo, and leading RF suppliers Skyworks, Qorvo and Murata.
