CTOnews.com February 24, MediaTek will demonstrate 3GPP 5G non-terrestrial network (CTOnews.com Note: NTN,Non-terrestrial networks) technology at MWC 2023 to provide two-way satellite communication application support for smartphones. New satellite communications devices include Motorola defy 2 and CAT S75 phones, as well as a Bluetooth accessory with MediaTek chips.

Motorola defy 2 smartphones and defy Bluetooth accessories will be released in North America, Latin America and Canada in 2023 and will be the first devices to provide MediaTek satellite connectivity.

MediaTek's independent chipset MT6825, based on the 3GPP NTN standard, can be integrated into its flagship smartphone to provide a seamless satellite communications experience.

MediaTek partnered with Bullitt to launch the first commercial smartphones using 3GPP NTN technology: Motorola defy 2 and CAT S75. Both smartphones use MediaTek MT6825 3GPP NTN chipsets to support Bullitt satellite communications services. Bullitt satellite communications service will continue to provide global users with two-way satellite communication information transmission, location sharing and emergency SOS functions.

MediaTek's upcoming NR-NTN chipset will provide higher connection rates for devices and are suitable for applications such as navigation and real-time communications. Satellite networks will enable NR-NTN applications in the next few years to support more personal, corporate, and industrial use cases, helping smartphones, Internet of things devices and cars gain reliable connectivity advantages.

MediaTek's IoT-NTN solution uses an independent chipset design, making it easy for equipment manufacturers to integrate two-way satellite communications technology into 5G and 4G devices such as smartphones. Unlike other non-standardized solutions, MediaTek adopts the 3GPP R17 NTN open standard, which makes it more flexible for OEM manufacturers or operators to develop products for a specific single specification.

In addition to supporting the advanced 3GPP R17 NTN standard, the MediaTek MT6825 IoT-NTN chipset has many other functions. MediaTek MT6825 can connect geosynchronous orbit (GEO) satellites and is easy to convert to 3GPP NTN standard satellite networks. MediaTek MT6825 allows devices to automatically receive information from satellites, unlike similar solutions that require users to check information manually, providing a seamless satellite communications experience. At the same time, the chipset can help the device to have a longer battery life, and the highly integrated design helps to speed up the product launch process.

In the next few years, MediaTek's satellite communications portfolio will develop IoT-NTN and NR-NTN technologies based on the 3GPP 5G R17 standard. IoT-NTN technology is designed for low-speed connections and is an ideal choice for transmitting information. NR-NTN technology allows higher connection rates and supports applications such as video calls. The current satellite network supports IoT-NTN on a large scale, and the first batch of smartphones and other devices equipped with MediaTek chips will support this two-way satellite communication technology.

MediaTek will showcase advanced satellite communications technology at MWC 2023 from February 27 to March 2, 2023. Participants can visit booth 3D10 in Hall 3.
