leading fabless semiconductorcompany for wireless communications
and digital multimedia solutions, today announced its most advanced
wireless combo chip designed to enrich multimedia experience with
small footprint and long battery life for smartphones, tablets and
portable devices. The MediaTek MT6620 integrates 802.11n Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth 4.0+HS, GPS, and FM transmitter/receiver on a single chip
with superior size and power benefits, making it the best solution
for smartphones, tablets, and portable devices.
Bringing connectivity features to mainstream products such as
smartphones, tablets, portable media players (PMPs), gaming
devices, and personal navigation devices (PNDs), the MediaTek
MT6620 integrates Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and FM, to provide
superior performance and rich features. The MT6620 implements
advanced and sophisticated radio coexistence algorithms and
hardware mechanisms to enhanced overall quality for simultaneous
voice, data, and audio/video transmissions. Its small size
significantly reduces PCB layout area and simplifies design
efforts. In addition, the MediaTek Symphony(TM) software package
supports all advanced wireless features on the Android operation
system. BlueAngel(TM) Bluetooth software currently can support up
to 15 profiles to fulfill most user scenario and bring customer
product differentiation.
The MT6620 supports all the leading standards: dual band 2.4GHz and
5GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi with WiFi Direct and Hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0+HS
for simultaneous dual mode Bluetooth BR/EDR/HS and Bluetooth Low
Energy (BLE) operations, GPS with Galileo/SBAS/QZSS and patent
pending AlwaysLocate(TM) technology, FM radio with both transmitter
and receiver, making the MT6620 ideal solution for portable devices
that require superior performance and long battery life. The MT6620
passes 802.11n WiFi certificate including WPS2.0, WAPI and
Bluetooth 4.0+HS on both the controller and MediaTek BlueAngle(TM)
host software.
SR Tsai, General Manager of the Wireless Connectivity Business Unit
at MediaTek said, "MediaTek is one of few in the industry to offer
4-in-1 SoC solution for a wide range of mobile applications. As a
result of this attention to mobile device manufacturers' needs, the
MT6620 was designed to meet strict requirements, such as low power
modes to conserve battery life, a reduced footprint to fit into
small, sleek handset designs, and low cost to enable mass market
mobile Wi-Fi enabled handsets. We believe that the MT6620 is
optimized for mobile devices at the hardware, firmware, and driver
levels to speed time to market of innovative designs."
The MT6620 has entered mass production and is shipping to lead
customers in sizable quantities now.
