MediaTek has entered into a partnership with Intel to bring MediaTek’s new 5G modem to PCs. Intel said that through this partnership, it has been working with MediaTek on the 5G solution for deployment in consumer and commercial laptop segments.
Joe Chen, president, Mediatek, said, “Our 5G modem for PCs, developed in partnership with Intel, is integral to making 5G accessible and available across home and mobile platforms. 5G will usher in the next era of PC experiences, and working with Intel, an industry leader in computing, highlights MediaTek’s expertise in designing 5G technology for global markets. With this partnership, consumers will be able to browse, stream and game faster on their PCs, but we also expect them to innovate with 5G in ways we have not yet imagined.”
Helio M70 5G modem
MediaTek’s new 5G modem for PCs is based in part on its Helio M70 5G modem which was introduced earlier this year as part of its integrated 5G system-on-chip for the first wave of 5G flagship smartphones. MediaTek said that it has been active in the development of 5G technology and has been participating in the standardisation of the full 5G feature set. It has also collaborated with industry leaders to establish a 5G industry ecosystem claimed the company.
Dell and HP are expected to be among the first original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to deliver laptops powered by Intel and MediaTek’s 5G solution. The first rollout of devices is likely to happen in early 2021.
