MediaTek introduces T300 5G RedCap platform for portable devices, compact wearables and low-power IoT equipment
At MWC 2024, MediaTek announced the latest addition to its 5G RedCap portfolio, the MediaTek T300 platform for wearables and IoT (Internet of Things) applications. The T300 is a 5G RedCap RF system-on-a-chip (SoC) built with MediaTek’s M60 modem, which is compliant with the 3GPP Release-17 standard, to offer significant advantages over existing 4G IoT solutions.
The T300 features a simplified, reliable antenna design with integrated RF to extend battery life in 5G devices while reducing development time and costs. The M60 modem reduces power consumption by up to 60% compared to LTE Cat-4 alternatives and up to 70% compared to existing 5G eMMB solutions. This allows device manufacturers to increase energy sustainability in large device deployments in IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), mobile market, security, logistics and edge IoT devices.
“MediaTek’s leadership in the 5G industry and its expertise in energy savings will help brands capitalize on the enormous market opportunity with 5G RedCap,” said JC Hsu, Vice President of MediaTek. “The T300 combines the speed, reliability and latency benefits of 5G with the unique cost and power requirements of IoT devices.”
With maximum downlink/uplink speeds reaching up to 227/122 Mbps, the T300 brings the benefits of 5G to power-constrained NR devices. The platform’s 3GPP Release-17 standard 5G modem supports a variety of power efficiency improvements, including early paging indication, UE subgrouping, transmission range switching (TRS) while idle, PDCCH monitoring adaptation, and radio link monitoring (RLM) while active.
Additionally, the platform integrates an 800 MHz CPU to ensure the SoC is highly responsive when activated.
Some of the additional features of the MediaTek T300 include:
• MediaTek’s UltraSave 4.0 technology to significantly reduce power consumption.
• 5G SA compatibility, along with LTE and NR-FR1 (20MHz) compatibility.
• Improved reliability with support for up to 256 QAM DL/UL, plus 1T2R MIMO / 1CC support for lower latency connections.
• Dual SIM single active (DSSA) and network segmentation, essential to support a variety of IoT applications.
MediaTek is collaborating with leading infrastructure partners such as Ericsson and Nokia, as well as operators around the world, including AT&T, Optus, SK Telecom, Telstra and Verizon, to successfully connect to 5G SA networks and make VoNR calls, as well as data transmissions using the MediaTek T300.
MediaTek will be exhibiting at MWC in Barcelona, Spain, February 26-29, 2024. Attendees can learn more about MediaTek’s 5G portfolio by visiting the company’s booth in Hall 3, Stand 3D10. Additional information is available here:
