Up to 4CC 5G-CA with Mixed Duplex (TDD+FDD)
The MediaTek M80 modem can address up to 300MHz spectrum using four Component Carriers (4CC) in 5G Carrier Aggregation, offering increased performance, particularly in cellular markets where 5G bands are non-contiguous or offer smaller bandwidth slices. The benefits are considerable: it unlocks extreme peak speeds of 7Gbps downlink and 2.5Gbps uplink, purely from widely available sub-6GHz networks, while also boosting average speeds everywhere from inner city to outer suburbs.
Over 30% Greater Throughput Coverage
By seamlessly managing 5G connections across a coverage layer, users can get over 30% greater throughput than without CA, while service providers can employ more efficient use of their cellular capacity. This gives users a more consistent connectivity experience with further reach.
Seamless Handover
5G Carrier Aggregation with Mixed Duplex (TDD+FDD) enables higher average speeds and a seamless handover between two connection areas. Without this technology, a user will suffer performance dips as they transition between two connections.
Multimode Dual SIM Dual Active
MediaTek yet again leads the industry in dual SIM technologies with support for the latest Multimode Dual SIM Dual Active (DSDA) standard, which enables several advantages over standard DSDS:
- 5G/5G, 5G/ 4G, 4G/4G – Non-stop data, no missed calls
- Both SIM connections can stream data simultaneously with any combination of 5G standalone, 5G non-standalone, and 4G LTE connectivity
- Data connectivity continues while a call is active on either SIM.
- Premium VoNR call services are available from both SIM
Unique Usability Enhancements
‘Airport‘, ‘HSR‘, ‘Basement’, ‘Subway’ - specialist situational enhancements ensure seamless 5G experiences with immediate connection recovery from cellular dead-zones, and reliably better performance when traveling on high speed transport, respectively.

Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) Ready – MediaTek Whitepaper
Even as 5G users and services rapidly grow, existing 4G LTE services will continue in the background for several years. A key aspect enabling the smooth transition is Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) technology. Using a simple network software upgrade, cellular providers can allow 5G and 4G to coexist at the same time and dynamically allocate the right amount of spectrum to each based on demand. MediaTek has collaborated with 5G equipment makers and global operators to validate DSS technologies, enabling MediaTek products readiness to support DSS as it is deployed.
