Computer
As industries move toward smarter, always-connected infrastructure, choosing the right cellular chipset has become a critical design decision. MediaTek's modem-based IoT lineup addresses this need with a portfolio of 4G and 5G solutions engineered specifically for industrial, enterprise, and embedded applications.
Why This Platform Stands Out
MediaTek's IoT modem chipsets combine strong data throughput, efficient power management, and built-in security to support devices that need to run reliably for years, not months. The lineup spans multiple performance tiers, from entry-level 4G chips to flagship 5G silicon, giving product designers flexibility based on budget, power envelope, and network requirements.
Product Range
- 5G Chipsets: MT8893 (flagship), MT8883 (high-end), MT8875 (mid-range with GenAI support), MT8873, MT8863, and MT8791
- 4G Chipsets: MT8788, MT8786, MT8781, MT8768, MT8766, and MT8765
- 5G RedCap: MediaTek T300, built for mid-tier 5G use cases balancing speed, cost, and power efficiency
Each chipset integrates varying combinations of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS positioning, and multimedia processing (camera, video encode/decode, AI-accelerated compute) alongside cellular connectivity — reducing the need for multiple separate components in a device design.
Key Advantages
- Carrier-Grade Reliability: Built to meet strict global carrier interoperability standards
- Security by Design: Secure boot, encryption, and data integrity protections at the hardware level
- Power-Efficient Performance: Optimized for always-on industrial and embedded use cases
- AI-Ready Multimedia: On-chip AI processing for smarter edge applications
- 7-Year Longevity Program: Long-term product availability, ideal for industrial and enterprise devices with extended deployment cycles
- Established Ecosystem: Backed by a global network of ODMs, module makers, and design partners for faster time-to-market
Where It's Used
These chipsets power devices across smart retail (POS systems, kiosks), enterprise (rugged handhelds, asset trackers), transportation (fleet management, dashboards), healthcare (patient monitoring devices), smart homes, industrial automation, and smart city infrastructure.
Real-World Deployments
MediaTek's IoT modem platforms already power commercial products, including Daylight Computer's outdoor-readable tablet, Xiangcheng Communication's POS and logistics handhelds, and marine control systems from JL Marine Systems.
