MediaTek on Monday unveiled its latest addition to its 5G RedCap portfolio, the MediaTek T300 platform, tailored for Internet of Things (IoT) applications at Mobile World Congress 2024 (MWC) .
Positioned as a 5G RedCap RF-system-on-chip (SoC), the T300 integrates MediaTek’s M60 modem, aligning with the 3GPP Release-17 standard to provide substantial generational advantages compared to existing 4G IoT solutions.
The T300 boasts a streamlined and dependable antenna design with integrated RF, extending the battery life of 5G devices while simultaneously reducing development costs and time, the company claims.
With the M60 modem, power consumption sees a reduction of up to 60% compared to LTE Cat-4 alternatives and up to 70% compared to existing 5G eMMB solutions, it claims.

“MediaTek’s leadership in the 5G industry and power savings expertise will help brands capitalize on the massive market opportunity with 5G RedCap,” he said.
With downlink/uplink peak rates reaching up to 227/122 Mbps, the T300 brings the benefits of 5G to NR power constrained devices.
