Who is hot and who is not

MediaTek has announced its 5G component suppliers and device makers who will be working on radio frequency (RF) technology.

Oppo, Vivo and top tier RF suppliers, including Skyworks, Qorvo and Murata have been named as the outfits creating a front end module solution that accommodates 5G components without impacting a smartphone's slim profile and design.

TL Lee, General Manager of MediaTek's wireless business unit said: "We're committed to making advanced mobile features accessible to consumers everywhere. Since the rollout of 5G will bring new design challenges for smartphone brands, we're working closely with component suppliers and device makers to provide the support they need to quickly bring to market innovative 5G devices. As the 5G market matures, we are positioned to lead this new wave of innovation with the Helio M70 platform and future MediaTek 5G products."

This recent MediaTek led industry cooperation on RFFE gives global smartphone brands a highly optimised, flexible and comprehensive platform to develop devices that meet unique design requirements for 5G connectivity. 5G devices need to integrate more components, including a radio frequency front end design - to transmit and receive wireless signals to the carrier - and will have greater performance and battery life demands, he said.
