5G: MediaTek offers improved internet connectivity to consumers

By Ibiyemi Mathew

MediaTek has assured that consumers who own smartphones equipped with Dimensity 900 chipset will have optimized internet connectivity.

The MediaTek Dimensity 9000 is the world’s first smartphone chip built on the ultra-efficient TMSC N4 (4nm-class) production process. This class offers incredible computing performance, gaming, imaging, multimedia, and connectivity innovations.

In a statement, the company said, “The best way to take full advantage of the 5G technology, which offers as much as 20 gigabits per second peak data rates and more than 100 megabits per second average data rates, is to ensure that your smartphone has the latest chipsets.”

However, 5G requires superior chipsets, says Rami Osman, Director for Corporate Sales and Marketing, MediaTek Middle East, and Africa.

Taiwan-based MediaTek, which provides components to the electronic industry, earlier this month launched its latest chip in Nigeria, the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset, which ensures that Nigerians can fully benefit from a superior surfing experience.

Highlighting how the Dimensity 9000 improves internet connectivity the company highligted thus:

“Integrating the internal 5G smartphone modem with 3GPP Release-16 standard technology, which amplifies sub-6GHz spectrum that carries more data than the traditional 2.44GHz range.

“A 3CC Carrier Aggregation (300MHz) 7Gbps downlink, which offers incredible peak performance on sub-6GHz”

“The chipset portfolio is the world’s first R16 UL Enhancement, allowing operators to access the full benefits of 5G. This is the only 5G smartphone modem to support R16 SuperUL/UL Tx Switching for both SUL and NR UL-CA-based connections”.

The MediaTek Dimensity chipset series is one of the most sought-after by smartphone manufacturers and is built into premium handsets. Device makers can use MediaTek’s Dimensity Open Resource Architecture (DORA) to customise the chip features for local markets, customer needs, and smartphone requirements.

“We are proud to have made this chip available in Africa through the launch of the Tecno Phantom X2 Series in East and West Africa earlier this month,” says Osman.
