- MediaTek demonstrated the first 5G NR NTN video call for automotive communications using satellite connectivity.
- A new Dimensity Auto smart cockpit platform built on a 3-nm automotive process enables generative AI assistants.
MediaTek presented its latest innovations under the MediaTek automotive connectivity technology portfolio at Mobile World Congress 2026. The showcase covered advances in 6G research, 5G-Advanced customer premises equipment, edge AI computing, IoT integration, automotive solutions, and data center technologies. A key highlight is the world’s first demonstration of a 5G NR NTN video call designed for vehicle communication environments.
Satellite Connectivity Expands Automotive Communication
The demonstration uses Non-Terrestrial Network (NR NTN) technology to enable high-speed satellite communication for vehicles operating beyond conventional cellular coverage. This capability supports real-time video calls, application usage, and internet connectivity in remote areas where terrestrial networks are unavailable.
Next-Generation Telematics with Integrated AI
MediaTek also introduced a new telematics chipset supporting 5G-Advanced Release 17 and Release 18 standards. The platform integrates modem-level artificial intelligence designed to improve connection stability, optimize network performance, and enhance reliability for next-generation vehicle communication systems.
Dimensity Auto Smart Cockpit Platform
The company unveiled a Dimensity Auto smart cockpit platform built on a 3-nanometer automotive-grade process. It combines a multi-core CPU based on Arm v9.2 architecture, advanced GPU performance, and a dedicated NPU capable of supporting generative AI voice assistants while maintaining strong in-vehicle data privacy and security.
