MT6825

MT6825 is a highly integrated, extremely power-efficient, and robust IoT-NTN connectivity solution that can provide global satellite coverage for mobile applications such as messaging, tracking, and emergency services, as well as large-scale satellite IoT applications such as remote monitoring of utilities, infrastructure management, maritime, connected agriculture, fleet management, telematics, and more.

MediaTek has been a significant driver in the formulation and implementation of the 3GPP Non-Terrestrial-Network (NTN) standard, which was created to overcome coverage issues and difficult use-cases that ground-based infrastructure alone cannot address.

The highly integrated MT6825 combines an Arm Cortex-M4F, PSRAM, Flash memory, cellular/satellite transceiver (RF), and a power management unit (PMU) in an extremely compact package, reducing time-to-market, while multiple interfaces allow easy platform integration. MediaTek's sophisticated power-efficiency technologies ensure the chip is particularly suitable for battery-powered devices such as smartphones or other mobile UE.

MT6825 supports 3GPP Release-17 (IoT-NTN) at L-band and S-band frequencies for satellite communications.

NB-IoT cellular networks are also supported, with full frequency band coverage from 450 MHz to 2.1 GHz including 3GPP R13 (NB1) and R14 (NB2) standards. The NB-IoT transceiver contains the 3GPP R13/R14 radio, baseband and MAC that are designed for low power operations and can extend battery life applications for years.

MT6825 has been awarded “Disruptive Device Innovation Award” at the Asia Mobile Awards, held during MWC Shanghai 2023.
