MediaTek has become one of the leading chipset makers for a wide range of devices, including smartphones, Chromebooks, Smart TVs, IoT devices, and more. The company also has a lineup of 5G modems to offer an alternative to leading modems like Qualcomm and Samsung’s offerings.

Now, along with a few new chips, MediaTek T800 5G modem has also been launched, which promises a speed of up to 7.9Gbps. It is a part of the newly announced MediaTek Dimensity 9200 SoC, but the company says that it can also be used for industrial IoT, M2M, and always-connected PCs.

As the name itself indicates, the newly launched MediaTek T800 is a successor to the T700. It is a fast and efficient modem with support for sub-6GHz and mmWave brands on StandAlone (SA) and Non-StandAlone (NSA) networks.

It also has support for the Dual SIM Dual Standby feature. The modem can deliver download speeds of up to 7.9Gbps and upload speeds of up to 4.2Gbps. The modem fully supports 4GPP Release-16 specification for 5G along with 4CC carrier aggregation. In comparison, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X70 modem peaks at 10 Gbps download speeds and 3.5 Gbps upload speeds.

The MediaTek T800 5G modem is built on a power-efficient 4nm node and packs 5G UltraSave technology for optimized power consumption. It comes with support for PCIe and USB host interfaces but can be connected to the rest of the machine through other means as well. It offers a fully integrated 3GPP Release-16 5G cellular modem, FR1 Transceivers, an Envelope Tracking (ET) chip, an MLNA (Monolithic Low Noise Amplifier), a GNSS receiver, and associated PMICs.
