The MWC 2023 conference took its place as a party officially on February 27th recently. Since the beginning of the conference, we have the main products to announce the new technology. Uno di questi is the well-known Taiwanese chipmaker MediaTek, which has announced at MWC2023 that it will reveal a new NTN 3GPP 5G solution for non-terrestrial networks, providing support for two-way satellite communications for smartphones and other devices.

MediaTek to announce new NTN 3GPP 5G technology at MWC 2023

It will be understood that MediaTek has chosen Skylo, an NTN non-terminal service operator, as a partner this time. With the NTN 3GPP modem from MediaTek and the NTN service from Skylo, smartphone and IoT manufacturers can develop new devices with integrated satellite connections such as smartphones, tablets, sensors and even wearables. Currently, MediaTek is able to integrate cellular and satellite links into the same device, and also Skylo’s NTN service is commercially available and has been extensively tested with MediaTek’s NTN 3GPP chipset.

It is also reported that Motorola Defy 2 and Defy series accessories will be the first devices to support MediaTek’s satellite communication technology. The mentioned devices will be released in North America in the second quarter of 2023. Considering that the majority of Defy user groups are adventurous, high-end people without normal networks, its release seems very appropriate. This technology in the Defy series.

We recall that MediaTek is a Taiwanese manufacturer of factoryless semiconductors (that is, without a factory) that plans and sells components for smartphones, tablets, wireless communications (navigatori), memory archives (DVD and Blu-ray readers). , TV advertisement alta definition and system-on-chip (SoC) solutions. It is listed among the 25 largest companies in the world on the Taiwan Stock Exchange and is one of the 25 largest semiconductor suppliers in terms of global volume sales. (Wiki)
