MediaTek Helio M70 Key Features:
- Faster speeds - With 4.7Gbps download speeds and 2.5Gbps upload speeds, Helio M70 enables devices to meet users’ growing connectivity demands while also achieving stable 4.2 Gbps 5G download speeds, the industry’s fastest modem in live verified sub-6Ghz testing. MediaTek’s demo can be seen at MWC in Hall 6, Stand 6C30.
- Standard-based - Compliant with the 3GPP Rel-15 specification.
- New Radio (NR) and worldwide 4G LTE bands - Supports frequencies from 600MHz to 5GHz and all TDD and FDD bands. It supports a flexible spectrum access mechanism so operators have more options as spectrum needs evolve.
- Multi-mode support - Support for 2G, 3G,4G and 5G connectivity, and dynamic power sharing across 4G and 5G so users have access to the best connectivity speeds no matter where they go.
- Intelligent energy savings - Dynamic bandwidth switching technology allocates 5G bandwidth required for specific applications which improves modem power efficiency by 50% and extends battery life.
- Strong connectivity - Rich features to ensure the link quality including High Power User Equipment (HPUE) support.
The company boasted that they are currently accelerating its 5G rollout as they gone through extensive industry testing as well. With this, the brand revealed that the Helio M70 is expected to be available in the market later this year.
